Caitlin Clark is the biggest name in college basketball right now.
The mania surrounding her is so massive that Clark’s butt holder is being sold for an obscene amount of money this week.
During a recent session with the media, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic was asked about his perception of Clark.
“[She’s] the women’s Steph Curry,” Doncic said. “She can shoot it better than me.”
“That’s the women’s Steph Curry. She can shoot it better than me.”

Doncic isn’t the only one impressed with Clark. Recently, Sabreena Merchant and Ben Pickman of The Athletic spoke with several scouts who had similar takes on the Iowa star.
“I think the same as the rest of my colleagues: A generational talent that can be the backbone of a franchise. A clear No. 1 pick,” one person said.
“Phenomenal player. Probably one of the most offensively ready guards coming into the draft we’ve seen in quite some time,” another agreed.
A third scout offered a more thoughtful analysis of Clark’s future.
“I think where she’s gonna be most beneficial for her team, which we all know which team that will be, is her ability to pass and spread the ball and spread the love to some incredible players on her team,” the scout noted.
“I think she will struggle more offensively just because of the strength of the guards that will be defending her, and the speed of those guards is something that she’s not used to seeing in college. But I think where she’ll make the biggest impact is her ability to pass.”
Either way, Clark at the WNBA level is going to be a ton of fun to watch.
