WNBA - English
Caitlin Clark‘s rookie season with the Indiana Fever was a game-changer, but not everyone’s giving her the props she deserves-and it’s stirring up some serious drama. Bleacher Report‘s latest Top 20 WNBA players list, dropped in late March 2025, has Clark sitting at No. 5-behind A’ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, Breanna Stewart, and Alyssa Thomas.
National analyst Rachel DeMita didn’t hold back on her Courtside Club podcast, calling it straight-up unfair treatment. “Caitlin’s changing the game, but the standards for her are unreal,” she said, arguing Clark’s revolutionary impact deserves more love than a mid-tier ranking-especially when 5x All-Star Alyssa Thomas ends up as collateral damage in the debate.
Caitlin Clark’s way of scrolling on her phone catches attention for how she uses her fingers
Clark’s stats are bonkers-19.2 points, a league-high 8.4 assists, and two triple-doubles as a rookie, plus a record-smashing 337 assists in 2024. She finished fourth in MVP voting-higher than Thomas at fifth-yet DeMita’s ranting that Clark’s turnovers and defense knocks are overshadowing her magic.
“As much as people harp on Caitlin about turnovers and not having rings, I just want to bang this mic against my head,” she vented, pointing to Clark’s 265% attendance boost and 1,000% team store sales spike for the Fever. X fans are split-some cheer, “She’s the future-give her No. 1!” while others shrug, “Thomas earned her spot, chill.”
Analyst slams Clark’s unfair treatment
Alyssa Thomas, the Connecticut Sun‘s gritty forward, isn’t exactly basking in this-she’s stuck in the middle. With 10.6 points per game but stellar efficiency and playmaking (7.9 assists), she’s a vet who’s paid her dues-five All-Star nods and a Finals run in 2022 say it all. Yet DeMita’s bold stance paints her as a victim of Clark’s hype train.
“Thomas is reliable, but Clark’s revolutionary,” DeMita argued, not knocking Thomas but framing Clark as the snubbed star. X chatter’s buzzing-one user quipped, “Alyssa’s getting dragged into Caitlin’s drama-leave her out of it!“
The Fever’s playoff clash with the Sun last year adds spice-Thomas muscled past Clark, but Caitlin still dropped 25 points in Game 2, nearly flipping the script. DeMita’s callout isn’t just hot air-Clark’s pulling 1.19 million viewers per ESPN game, shattering norms, while Thomas grinds in the shadows. “Growth’s part of it-why punish her?” DeMita asked, pushing back on the double standard.

Arkansas Gets Ranked Win Over Texas Tech in Thrilling Sweet 16 Rematch
Trevon Brazile scored 18 of his 24 points after halftime and finished with 10 rebounds as No. 17 Arkansas overcame No. 16 Texas Tech on Saturday, 93-86, in a rematch of a Sweet 16 game in last season's NCAA Tournament.Arkansas (8-2), which trailed by as many as 10 points before halftime, went ahead for good on Brazile's driving layup that made it 78-77 with 5:20 left. A minute after that, coming out of a timeout, he made a move near the baseline that got JT Toppin in the air and drove by the preseason AP All-American for an emphatic one-handed slam dunk.Brazile is one of the three starters for the Razorbacks who played in the Sweet 16 game last March, when they had a 16-point lead midway through the second half before Tech rallied for an overtime victory.Toppin had 30 […]
