She is so humble and a professional.

[@hilliarddillepree7717]

I like C C..if Boston would finish half her passes at the rim she could average 15 assets, but they win with Kelsey in the lineup

[@Logo3_22]

This is one of the main reason she is marketable…She handles the media very well.. Don’t think any player in the league is this poised when getting interviewed

[@bishopsteiner7134]

@@kiteracer2497 problem is chemistry. They are so far behind the rest of the league in being able to practice together. The last 8 or so games they've largely been jelling more and more each game. The bigger issue is defensive. Mitchell, Clark and Boston are clicking pretty well together now. Yeah they still have some miscommunications, and Clark also takes some pretty high risk passes, because she's aggressive. But what they need to add is a couple more defensive dogs to the starting 5. Be it an elite rebounder/blocker, or a top shelf pickpocket. But they have the makings of a great core three, offensively.

[@SmithCommaBenjamin]

Her actions on the court speak volumes

[@roee78]

She smart. She knows how to throw an opponent off their game before hitting the floor. Complement them😂😂. It worked. DT was all smiles with Clark and laid back during game. Fever did their thing.

This 22 year old rookie was responsible for half the Fever's points with 15 points and 12 assists and 9 rebounds. This is the very definition of "the straw that stirs the drink." A shoe-in for rookie of the year. Speaking of shoes, is that Nike deal in the bag?

It’s in the bag, just waiting for them to drop. Whether or not there will be a men’s version of her shoe remains to be seen.

This is what happens when you grow up without a father in the home.

[@gtswago1]

She has so much more class than you. Perhaps you could learn from her. Imagine if you could figure out how to praise Clark without needing to put down someone else. Angel Reese had zero to do with this game or this interview. Be better. It's what Caitlin would want for you.

@@bethcoleman-oliver6828 i don’t like the way she acts and I know from experience that girls that act like her generally come from single mother households with no father at home. It’s a stark contrast to someone like Aliyah Boston who I can almost guarantee you comes from a loving household with a father at home even though I didn’t look it up. If I’m wrong about Aliyah I’m sorry but I can almost guarantee you that she grew up with a loving father.

Turasi should just shut up from now on. It's obvious Caitlin's praise for Diana was geniune and not scripted.

Lol! Marketing and all she is just a nice person that's it no need for marketing and pretensions.. The media is just riding every Caitlin story and that is actually helping Caitlin popularity and WNBA in general so that is a win win for everyone. Caitlin has no time watching this media stuff and all and she doesn't care her hobby she said with all this media fans and all is sleeping..

[@robertdare1996]

There's been so much misunderstanding and mis-reporting about this. All DT did was say every rookie has to expect a challenging transition - which by the way is true 100% of the time. No hating - made up story for media to frenzy on. People gravitate to the negative instead of taking the effort to seek the truth.

CC is a treat to watch play the game and - if possible - she's even better off the court. And the Fever are coming together: 8-12 (given their tough schedule and 13-27 record last year is pretty good. She's still learning and improving, as are her teammates and the coaching staff. But again, her intelligence and poise in handling everything at her age reminds me, perhaps, of a young Magic or MJ.

[@donaldcummings8407]

Personally, I feel great..But maybe Taurasi might feel a little shitty.. Maybe she should have been a bit more magnanimous in her comments and had left the "reality is coming" and "playing against grown women" comments out.. Her "gracious" comments about Caitlin after the game were of the "closing the barn door after the horse has left" variety
