Caitlin is the first rookie to ever get a triple double and now the first player in WNBA history to get 19 assists in one game in her rookie season. The W has a new Point Gawd and she plays for Indy! #FeverRising pic.twitter.com/tvcElMRJSY

Caitlin Clark now has the third-best odds to win WNBA MVP after setting a league record with 19 assists in a single game.
The decision to keep her off the Olympic team is indefensible at this point. pic.twitter.com/RFWiQ4DfOD— Joe Pompliano (@JoePompliano) July 18, 2024
Everyone who has scored more than 20 points and had at least 15 assists in a WNBA game:

Caitlin’s passing and shooting is remarkable as we know….but perhaps the elite thing she brings that isn’t highlighted enough is her PACE. Clark’s Pace is incredible and consistent all game.

It really is a treat that we get to witness this generations version of Rajon Rondo in Caitlin Clark. The amount of assists that she produces is astounding. I just wonder if she can live up to the player that Rajon Rondo became. We shall see…#WNBA #CaitlinClark #IndianaFever

Caitlin Clark is 26 games into her WNBA career and she’s already one of the best point guards in league history.

Caitlin Clark setting the single game record in assists (19) as a rookie over the likes of Courtney Vandersloot, Ticha Penicheiro and Alyssa Thomas is some kind of sorcery
