@@butchklumb7128Diana Taurasi is averaging virtually the same amount of ppg as Clark(Taurasi actually has a slightly higher average), virtually the same amount of rebounds per game (Clark has a slightly higher average). There is separation in Clark’s favor pertaining to assists, just as there is clear separation pertaining to Clark’s penchant for turning the ball over. The biggest separation (as is the case with all of them) is her lack of prowess as a defender. You claim age as a factor, but Taurasi is her current age while putting up offensive numbers comparable to Clark, being more secure with the ball, and a clearly better defender. Additionally, she has the experience from being on the team and playing within this system. Certainly Bradshaw and Namath are Hall of Fame quarterbacks, but if you were asking me to compare them to other quarterbacks who have comparable numbers with markedly less interceptions, I’ll take the quarterbacks who are more secure with the ball. Also, if you’re using those two examples, the reason why Namath and Bradshaw are in the Hall of Fame is because of their ability to win at the highest level in the biggest moments, which Taurasi’s proven (both in college and in the WNBA). I assure you, comparing Clark to any of the other guards leads to equally shaky (or worse) arguments.

Taurasi is arguably the greatest women’s basketball player. And I’d bet the first time the general audience had ever heard of her was when she made the “different levels” comment.

[@jamesf2811]

The "not be playing a ton" argument is pointless. Throw Caitlyn Clark in for a couple of minutes, she takes up to 5 shots, hits a 3 and the crowd goes wild. Yah, there would still be backlash for those unrealistically expecting her to play more. But that backlash/distraction would be far less than leaving her off the team. And now she's probably an alternate as if that will alleviate anything. Also, this business about the Olympic basketball committee only being concerned with winning gold is completely bogus. For decades they have been talking about how important it is that the Olympic athletes be ambassadors of their sport. The only close reason to leave her off the team would be if there was someone selected that has deserved and worked hard to be selected. And that this was their final chance and selecting Caitlyn would take that person's spot. That would be a really bad move. But if such person doesn't exist on the roster, then there is no other credible reason. And then there is the how do you know? How do you know she won't burst on the scene or have some sort of relatable growth? She is a pretty good passer. I doubt her Olympic teammates will object to free layups even if she doesn't take many shots.
