They asked if Caitlin would be ready for the WNBA. The question is, is the WNBA ready for Caitlin?

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking… can the NBA rise to Caitlin’s level. Caitlin is a true professional. Just how she handles these questions. She answers with grace. And always includes the team, etc.

I guarantee you if she doesn't play well in her first WNBA game, the media is coming after her saying things like "Is Caitlin a Bust?" When clearly she said their isn't enough time to transition from college to the WNBA. All the haters will be ready waiting. They did it to Wemby but look at him now.

@Callsmit 16 күн бұрын

Well the haters are pathetic so they are no bother. She wasn’t the greatest player in women’s college basketball history as a freshman. It takes time to become great and we all have to understand that as much as we want to see her succeed right away. She will also get every team’s best shot which will make it even more difficult.

@ree4214 15 күн бұрын

Very true the media will say things but, will the Iowa fans give her space to learn and gel with the team. They may be the ones shocked if she doesn’t drop 40/game. She’s not even try to do that and been talking about her passing of late.

@uwinsome 15 күн бұрын

When you hype someone up like most white people do Caitlin, you are leaving yourself open for pushback. If she never wins a Championship, why should she receive the praise? Individual achievements in team sport's is moot and empty stats !

I mentioned the floater, and midi game in general, good to hear her say that. Also a tight spin move, she can do it, and eventually go hard to the rim left hand or right. She doesn’t always have to finish, just use penetration to zip a pass when she runs into a big things like that. It will be interesting to see when she is really confident, and relaxed, whenever that is, and bombs away when they are swishing. ☑️👌🧨💥🔥 JP
