WNBA legend Rebecca Lobo has become an enthusiastic supporter of Caitlin Clark, frequently praising the rookie’s rise as one of the league’s biggest superstars. In her recent commentary, Lobo highlighted Clark’s exceptional skills, particularly noting that the Indiana Fever guard has established herself as the best passer in the game. However, Lobo also pointed out an area where Clark has yet to reach her full potential.

“What’s remarkable too is she still hasn’t found her 3-point shot at the rate that she will,” Lobo said. “She’s adjusted. She’s taking fewer of the logo bombs. She’s driving more and finishing. So she’s getting her points that way.”

This keen observation should be a warning to the rest of the league. Currently, Clark is hitting 2.7 three-pointers per game at a 32.7 percent rate. For context, during her senior year at Iowa, she averaged 5.2 makes from beyond the arc and had a career average of 37.7 percent from deep.

 

While the level of competition between the NCAA and the WNBA is significantly different, Lobo’s implication is clear: it’s only a matter of time before Clark rediscovers her 3-point shot in the professional league.

Clark’s ability to adapt her game by driving and finishing more effectively shows her versatility and determination to succeed at the highest level. As she continues to adjust and improve, her potential to dominate with her 3-point shooting looms large. This dual-threat capability is bound to make her an even more formidable player in the WNBA.

With her exceptional passing, evolving scoring methods, and the eventual resurgence of her 3-point accuracy, Clark is on a trajectory to become one of the most complete players in the league. This should indeed be a cause for concern for her opponents, as her ceiling appears to be far from reached.
