Caitlyn Clarke’s undoubtedly made a big splash in the WNBA, but the league’s success
isn’t all on her shoulders. It’s about the whole squad and the league’s overall strategy. While stars like Clarke grab headlines, it takes a team effort on and off the court to keep the league thriving.
We’ve got to remember not to put too much pressure on any one player. Everyone drafted brings something unique, and creating a supportive atmosphere benefits everyone. Angel Reese and Kamila Cardoso, now teammates on the Chicago Sky, are great examples of this.
Reese and Cardoso, who both took down Clarke in college on their way to NCAA championships, bring serious talent to the league. Their move to the Chicago Sky amps up the competition and shows off the WNBA’s depth. It’s worth noting the disparity, though, like how Clarke’s exhibition game got broadcast while Reese and Cardoso’s didn’t. Clarke’s a force, but recognizing everyone’s achievements and teamwork is what
keeps the WNBA soaring.
