ESPN pundit David Dennis Jr. has been trying to justify his claim that Caitlin Clark is not among the best guards in the WNBA. However, Clark’s recent performance has proven him wrong. In her last seven games, she averaged 26.1 points and 8.6 assists per game, leading the Fever to a 6-1 record.
Clark’s Rise to Prominence
Clark’s success has been met with criticism from some, including Dennis, who has been accused of having a bias against her. Despite this, Clark has continued to prove herself as one of the top players in the league. Her performance has earned her the Player of the Month award, and she has become the first player in WNBA history to have seven career games with at least 25 points, 10 assists, and five made 3-pointers.
Dennis has since backtracked on his comments, stating that he was only referring to Clark’s performance at the time and that she has since improved. However, his initial comments have sparked a debate about the treatment of Clark and other female athletes in the media.
