Caitlin Clark Responds to Strong Comments From Paige Bueckers

Caitlin Clark has been under the spotlight since her college days with the Iowa Hawkeyes and that quickly translated to the WNBA. During her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, all eyes were on Clark, who was drafted with the No. 1 overall pick. 

Despite all of the pressure, Clark showed out during her rookie season in Indiana. Last season, Clark was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year and ended her first season in the league as a WNBA All-Star starter. 

Now, Paige Bueckers holds a similar responsibility. 

As the most recent No. 1 overall pick, Bueckers will look to lead the Dallas Wings, bouncing back from a 9-31 season. 

Amid Bueckers' rookie season, she was asked about player comparisons, seemingly talking about the pressure she faces, following Clark's historic rookie season. 

Clark addressed the same topic from Bueckers, mentioning that it's a media driven topic, much like what the Wings guard explained. 

"The media is always going to do that," Clark said. "There’s always going to be comparisons…at the end of the day it’s about how you are going to help your team? How are you going to help yourself get better?"
