***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

[AFM22]

All she has is a turn around jumper and can hit a 3 every now and then.

And 3 DPOTY awards in the last 4 years

Nothing special.

Had to give @Legend12 the "Raspberries".

She’s the clear number two in the race this year, and many haven’t mentioned her in the top 5. It’s embarrassingly comical.

CC is currently the clear #3.

Speaking of Lexi, she's had only 13 shot attempts over the last 5 games. 2-4 from 3, 15 rebs, and averages 15 min/game. She's in an entirely defensive role. She's the last option to score. She can defend, rebound, and set screens. That's all White needs from her.

Will you stop it?

Can we quit with the conspiracy theory victimhood of Caitlin Clark? There is no WNBA shadow entity conspiring against her.

She's the WNBA ROTY given to her by the WNBA. She's a 3x WNBA All Star given to her by the WNBA. She was 1st team All WNBA in 2024 given to her by the WNBA.

Even in hypotheticals where we pretend she has insane stats people act like victims.

Why else come to a sports message board other than to discuss conspiracy theories and perceived victim-hood? No one wants to talk about sports...

I think you should be able to critique any player but that's not how it works around these parts.

I agree, pardner.

I'd disagree. Her minutes have been cut because she's just ineffective. The Big 3 took 58 of the 81 shots yesterday ( as it should be) but Timpson going 9-13 basically won the game. You know what you're going to get pretty much night in and night out with the Big 3. 64 points yesterday. Pretty much the norm but you've got to get a 4th scorer of some significance. I don't expect 20 out of Timpson obviously but 10-8 at least would be nice. Sophie played 32 minutes and only scored 3 pts. She did grab 7 boards though. Lexi just isn't producing much of anything out there.

How in hell was she a "+2" in final box score stats?

"In essence, a player's ability to contribute to stopping the opponent's scoring directly impacts their +/- rating, making defense an integral part of this statistic."

"In essence, a player's ability to contribute to stopping the opponent's scoring directly impacts their +/- rating, making defense an integral part of this statistic."

Understood, but she was 0-3 from the field with 2 rebounds in only 10 minutes of play.
That's hardly an "integral" part of the game.

This is my point. When Hull is on the floor, she is the last scoring option compared to the others, especially when Timpson has a game like she had last night. Think defense, ok?

She impacts the game defensively. That helps the team, even when she doesn't score. Do I want more offensive production from her? Sure, I'll take that any day. But, if she plays solid defense, then that helps keep the ship afloat. Don't you think?

Knew you were craving this @Legend12, so here it is: Coach (5-1/2 min)

Lexie game is hustle and she's not putting forth the same effort she has the last two years. She needs to step it up down the stretch.

Then why is White keeping her in the starting lineup?
