As the WNBA break winds down and teams gear up for the final stretch, the Indiana Fever’s social media team decided to remind everyone of one little detail: Caitlin Clark is a monster, and no, she’s not just any rookie—she’s the rookie. In fact, according to the Fever, the Rookie of the Year debate is already over. Done. Finito. So much so that the team’s Twitter (sorry, “X”) account boldly proclaimed, “It’s a no contest.” Mic drop.
But wait, there’s more! In a stat-packed graphic, the Fever showcased six jaw-dropping categories where Clark doesn’t just lead rookies—she obliterates them. Points? Check. Assists? Double-check. Steals? Threes? Field goals made? Free throw percentage? She’s topping all of them, leaving her fellow rookies eating dust.
You’d think they’d stop there, but no—this is Caitlin Clark we’re talking about. Let’s sprinkle in some extra flavor: Not only does she lead rookies in assists, but she’s out-assisting the entire league. That’s right, the whole WNBA. The record books are already quaking in their boots because Clark is on pace to shatter the all-time assists record, rookie or veteran. Oh, and did we mention that she’s personally responsible for more points than anyone else in the league, whether she’s sinking buckets or dishing out dimes? Yeah, it’s like she’s playing her own version of 2K out there.
But let’s not stop at assists and points. In a plot twist straight out of a sports drama, Clark, a guard, is even holding her own in the rebounding game. She’s pulling down more boards than some of the league’s bigs. Now, don’t get it twisted—Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky has rookie rebounding locked down. But even then, Caitlin’s snatching more blocks than Reese and ranks in the top 25 in just about every major statistical category. It’s like she’s collecting accolades as if they’re Pokémon cards.
In July, before the WNBA hit the pause button for the Olympics, Clark was averaging a cool 20.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 12.5 assists per game. No biggie, just casually padding her résumé with numbers that scream, “Hey, maybe I should be in the MVP conversation too.” And guess what? She is. According to sportsbooks, Caitlin is currently tied for second in MVP odds. Rookie of the Year? She’s making a case that she should just skip that step and go straight to MVP.
As the Fever prepare to hit the court again on Friday, all eyes will be on Clark to see if she can continue this otherworldly performance. But let’s be real—the Fever’s social media team has already made up their minds, and they’re not exactly being subtle about it. They’ve thrown down the gauntlet, daring anyone to argue otherwise. Rookie of the Year? Pfft. Caitlin Clark is aiming higher, and the league better be ready.
So, will CC pick up right where she left off? If her stats are any indication, the answer is a resounding yes. And if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that the Indiana Fever’s social media team isn’t here to play—they’re here to win. Just like Caitlin.
