Paige Bueckers vs Caitlin Clark : How Do They Stack Up?

Assuming Caitlin Clark is back on the court tonight, she and Paige Bueckers will square off for their first matchup in the WNBA. But these two stars have been running alongside each other on parallel (and sometimes overlapping) tracks since their AAU days in the midwest. Zena, Ben, and Sabreena take a look at how the careers of these back-to-back #1 draft picks stack up – the similarities and the differences – and the roles they both play in the culture at large. Plus, they dive into the reasons why so many rookies are so pro-ready from the get-go. The crew also spends some time talking about DeWanna Bonner’s departure from the Indiana Fever – why it happened when it happened, what may have been going on behind the scenes, and where DB may land._________________Visit our YouTube page!_________________References:Caitlin Clark sidelined for Fever-Sparks with groin injury, marking sixth absence this season by Ben PickmanIndiana Fever waive DeWanna Bonner, sign Aari McDonald for rest of season by Ben PickmanCould a new 3X3 women’s basketball tourney create a pipeline for the Olympics? by Ben Pickman_________________Get in touch!
