Olivia Miles, the new face of the WNBA, blew up the stat sheet tonight. 13 pts on 3/13 shooting, 6-7 on FTs, 1/3 on 3s. But 7 assists and only TWO turnovers which is the real indicator as to why Miles is already in a category "miles" above Caitlin Clark..................

















Amirite? 😉
This may upset some people by being blunt, Miles is a much better fit for the present WNBA than Clark. She checks all the boxes.

I have not tracked it but I hear a lot about the league not crediting CC with assists. Well, certain ones. She obviously gets a ton but the thinking is she should have more.
Not sure where you’re hearing that. I think there’s been several times that the statisticians have been generous with assist scoring. That is likely league wide though, not just a CC thing.

As to CC turnovers - it just dawned on me - maybe I am slow. But if a team shoots 50%, then 4 turnovers will equal 4 points. So if you get 10 assists that is at least 20 points, but really a few more. So CC goes 20-10-4 and that is 20 pts off of assists and giving 4-6 off of turnovers. Sounds pretty impressive to me.

I will be totally honest and tell you I am a fan of about two or three youtubers. one of them is keep the vision. he goes on whitlocks show as a guest so that probably disqualifies him in many eyes around here. ben daniels { I think is his name} is good too, I noticed him quoted on here. Anywhos, I watch keep the vision while the game is on, and the comment live section has what looks to be several hawk fans because they have hawkeye in their user name, and they say it. they will say, "there goes another assist for CC not credited" now, half the time they are making fun of missed layups to be sure. but I have seen them say it on other shots that went in.

This is what folks don't understand. You Tube has come a long way from it's inception. People still must use common sense and good judgement to get to the truth however. The W and coaches like SW, hate that they are being exposed for questionable behavior. MSM rarely does this, so fans know there are other ways to gain information.

Most high school boys leagues.
Really showed me. What I find funny is how much most of you complain about the women's game but you can't leave it. I know, you only watch CC. These women are the best women in the world. Not sure why guys like you continue to compare the women's game to the men's game. It's clearly not as good or the same. So why bring it up?

The 10 a game shows how many great passes she makes considering so many easy shots are missed.
Yep, if only they caught every pass from CC she'd average 25 a game. Because that's a pretty normal number to average. You're a dunce.
