This was a chart put together to compare Caitlin Clark and Paige Buecker- based on what each did in their rookie seasons.
Both are great WNBA players. The discussion of whether Clark or Buecker is better, is good for the WNBA. It shows interest and passion for the sport.
Obviously I am an Indiana and Clark fan. Five years from now, we may still be having this discussion and have added Sonia Citron and JuJu Watkins or others into the debate. That will be good.
Or one of these players will have emerged as a step above the rest.
Team Wins & Play-offs
If looking to compare Clark and Buecker’s rookie seasons, consider wins in the comparison.
The Fever year before Clark- 13 wins/no play-offs
The Fever year Clark joined- 19 wins/play-offs
The Wings year before Buecker- 16 wins/no play-offs
The Wings year Buecker joined- 10 wins/no play-offs
My thought on the debate of Clark vs Buecker, if you look at impact on their team (wins/play-offs), and impact on the WNBA (attendance), Caitlin Clark is at a different level.
