My guess: Caitlin & Angel will garner co-Rookie of the Year honors
Dave, one of a PG's main responsibilities is to know/feel when and how to get the ball to teammates.....if you have ever heard Larry Bird talk about Dennis Johnson, he says one of the things that made him so great was his ability to get the ball in the exact place a teammate wanted it, he rarely turned it over.....it comes with time and I have no doubt CC will get there but she's not there yet...... I feel like you were trying to excuse away her main weakness, if not then I misunderstood I guess?
As a rookie, Magic Johnson was 4th in the NBA in turnovers per game. As a 2nd year pro, Larry Bird was 5th in turnovers per game.
The 4 players who had the most turnovers per game in the nba this year were Luka, Wembanyama (rookie of the year), Lebron, and Giannis. Those are 4 of the best players in the league.
When you are the offensive hub of your team and are tasked with handling the ball so much and making so many decisions per game, turnovers are going to happen. There is no avoiding it, no matter how good the player is. It is a matter of if the positives are outweighing the negatives and how effective are you making the offense, even with the turnovers.
No to speak for him, but I don’t think the issue is that Dave doesn’t understand what it means to be a point guard. He was just providing a bit of context for a statistic.
I don’t think anyone is saying that Clark doesn’t need to reduce her turnovers. It is an issue. However, I don’t think her problem is not being able to get the ball to her teammates where they want it.
She leads the league in assists as a rookie, has accounted for the most offense in the league (her points + points as a result of her assists), and is really developing an awesome tandem with Aliyah Boston.
