Yeah, Jewel should not take all the shots. Give Nneka a chance.

The Fever have been an exciting team; I actually believe Caitlin Clark is a better passer than shooter, and Kelsey Mitchell is one of many to be benefitting. Also bear in mind, Clark is playing with several players who won NCAA championships so the team is jelling around players with a winning mentality. Satou Sabally is a solid player, but Dallas will still likely miss the playoffs and Trammel will be the first coach to lose her job. The Aces may be tired with 5 of their stars having played in the Olympics (compared to the Fever which had 1), but the experience may kick in against their likely playoff opponent, the Fever (if the Storm collapses).

I don't really think anyone thought Kelsey and Caitlin could co-exist, or that the Fever were battling for lottery odds except the lovely folks who write for this newsletter. Also, is Clark really turning it over too much if she has a 2:1 assisst to turnover rate? It's almost like the turnovers are coming as result of high level passes, and that's how the high assists also happen. Basketball turnovers aren't like football turnovers, you can live with them.
