During Friday night’s Final Four matchup between Iowa and UConn, Caitlin Clark faced criticism from a WNBA star. Despite being recognized as one of the most captivating players in the game today, particularly for her impressive shooting range, not everyone is in agreement about the effectiveness of her playing style.
Kelsey Plum, a star for the Las Vegas Aces, made a subtle jab at Clark during an alternate ESPN broadcast. Plum insinuated that she refrains from shooting logo threes because she has A’ja Wilson available in the post.
“You know why I don’t shoot logo threes? Because A’ja Wilson’s on the block,” she said.
The comment has drawn the ire of fans online as they reckon Kelsey was being unfairly critical.
And because you can’t make em?

Plum Wasn’t The Only WNBA Star To Take Aim At Caitlin Clark On Friday
Plum, though, wasn’t the only WNBA star who had something negative to say about Caitlin Clark’s shooting from long range.
Women’s basketball icon Diana Taurasi also took a shot at the Hawkeyes star, claiming Geno Auriemma would never let her shoot deep threes at UConn.
“Heck no, like he didn’t even let us dribble,” she said after she was asked whether the Huskies head coach would allow Clark to play her style of basketball under him.
Clark has found herself fielding a lot of criticism lately. WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes recently made headlines for taking shots at her, though she has since claimed to have apologized to the Iowa guard personally.
The 22-year-old is one of the best players in college at the moment and became the highest-ever scorer this season. Unfortunately, it comes with the territory, but she will have the opportunity to go at Plum soon enough as she’s headed to the WNBA herself.
