Inside Indiana Fever practice Day 3 - Caitlin Clark plays point guard | Fieldhouse Files

The Indiana Fever held another day of practices on Tuesday. Come inside practice, Day 3, at the Salesforce Court in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Caitlin Clark spent much more time with the ball in her hands as the point guard. They're still learning the offense and each others' tendencies. Coach Christie Sides wants to push the pace and make sure they are well conditioned - as you'll see.

Wow, just gotta say that whoever it is from the Fever organization who thought it was a good idea to post daily teasers of Fever practices and such.....YOU DESERVE A PAY RAISE! Also, it's great to see the good, the bad, and the ugly of these practices because that is reality. We all know that you won't show everything and tip your hand to your opponents, but letting us all see a bit of what is transpiring as you head into the WNBA season is greatly appreciated! As as an Iowan and a lifelong Hawkeye fan, I now find myself cheering for the Pacers and the Fever! LETS GO!

[@ScottAgness]

Thanks, but I'm self-employed and run my own site covering the Pacers and Fever. www.fieldhousefiles.com/ ... And yes, I intentionally left good and bad in there -- to keep it real. There will be growing pains. There will be bad days and great days. They're worn down a little from about five practice in three days already.

[@triple_leverage724]

Clark 0-5 from deep here. Have a feeling her shot has been off since training camp started since everyone has been talking about her passing and nothing really about her shooting. Defensive pressure, fatigue, even the ball change can throw that off. I know she will find her shot but just hoping it’s sooner rather than later to keep all the fan base momentum going. So excited for the season. Thanks for posting these videos.

[@aliciaedgar4211]

I've heard lots of comments from teammates about her shooting being great plus her passing. This is just an off scrimmage which happens.

[@buzzard6410]

At about 50 seconds, it looked like she wanted to throw a Hannah Stuelke pass. But her teammate wasn't looking.

@@marcdaddy33 I was referring to the type of play where Hannah, with her speed and soft hands, runs the floor and knows CC will get her the ball if the angle is there. On this play, the defender wasn't looking and if the teammate had been, the ball would have zipped in for an easy layup.

[@windi6]

First day I’ve seen them look tired… new additional players to get familiar with in play. some definitely gel better with Clark than others. Fast tradition play is what they seem to do best. They all need to watch film on each other. You can’t get the pass if your not looking for it. Speed down the floor with eyes on the ball.
