Caitlin Clark has been sensational in the eyes of the Indiana Fever. The rookie has helped lift the franchise in just a few months, slowly establishing herself as one of the best players in the WNBA just before the league’s break for the Olympics.
The Fever recently posted a graphic on social media with a confident message that was directed at Clark.
They showed a few of Clark’s achievements throughout her rookie season while sharing a caption that said, “A record hates to see our rookie of the year coming.
Indiana’s social media admin didn’t just drop the claim that Clark should be the Rookie of the Year; they backed their statement with facts from the first half of the WNBA season.
As the Fever explained, Caitlin Clark has been wreaking havoc in the WNBA, just 26 games into her professional career.
Clark is currently averaging 17.1 points and 8.2 assists per game, but aside from her daily stats, the rookie’s already cemented her name in a couple of WNBA records.
Clark is the only rookie in WNBA history to notch a triple-double, achieving the feat against the New York Liberty on July 6. She posted 19 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds in the matchup.
The 22-year-old also has the most double-doubles by a rookie guard in league history, recording nine double-doubles on the season, with plenty of games left to boost that number.
She holds the WNBA record for the most three-pointers made by a rookie in league history, knocking down seven shots from beyond the arc on Jun. 7 against the Washington Mystics.
Along with her scoring, Clark has made it known that she’s an elite playmaker. She holds the WNBA record for the most assists in a single game in the history of the league, having 19 assists against the Dallas Wings on July 17.
Clark channeled her inner John Stockton in the WNBA All-Star game as well, notching the most assists by a rookie in All-Star game history with 10.
Her final accomplishment is a franchise record: She has the most assists in a single season of any player who’s ever competed with the Fever, with 213 in 26 games and counting.
