She wants to be Caitlin Clark so bad. Lol.

Following her poor 3 point shooting, she needs all the practice she can get. Also, in today's men's and women's games, being a stretch five is needed. In the NBA, you almost certainly have to be able to stretch the floor at the five position.

1 out of 5 of Angel's shots are either an air ball or are blocked.

I'd be careful with the "not even close" stuff.

CC is a great passer. And her gravity on the court, alone, makes life easier for her mates on offense.

But quite often, she makes life hell for her teammates, on D.

Jacking up 30 ft misses also makes life very difficult for her teammates.

PB is one hell of a team player. She sets her teammates up. Is obviously more defensively friendly. And her ability to get her own, late clock, makes life so much easier for her mates.

PB's mates also seem to naturally gravitate towards/accept her leadership. She's emotionally steady, and has a natural winning confidence.

No doubt, overall, both players make their mates a lot better

I wonder how good Page would be if she was getting doubled everytime she touches the ball, like happens to CC.

PB is not the defensive player you’re making her out to be.

Not easily better on D than CC?

Stop.

You must be another one of those guys that thinks they've read something different than they actually have

This. Paige is an above average defender, but she's nowhere near as special as her reputation would lead you to believe.

Currently PB ranks 96th in the league in steals at 0.4/game, CC is 22nd at 1.1/game. PB is 65th in blocks at 0.3/game, CC is again 22nd at 0.9/game.

They're grasping. Lol.

I actually think the two stats to the left of that one are even funnier. She's shooting <42% with most all of her shots on the season happening from point blank range. Lol. And how does a power forward who doesn't usually bring the ball up and plays mostly in the low post average 4 turnovers per game? Lol.

I don't think anyone has claimed PB is a great defender, but when compared to CC she's considerably better, and a lot of that is just from effort. Now if CC plays like she did last night and commits to the defensive end of the floor then the difference would likely be negligible.

Steals and blocks are not the strongest indicators of good defenders. Especially steals
