Crazy Caitlin Clark comparison with Diana Taurasi underlines Fever rookie’s GOAT-level potential
Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark’s standing as a potential WNBA GOAT was spotlighted once again in a Reddit thread post on Thursday. In particular, her 20-point and 10-assist games were compared to those of Phoenix Mercury resident star Diana Tuarasi, widely considered among the best players, if not the best ever, in WNBA history.
The thread highlighted how Taurasi compiled nine 20-10 games in 559 regular season games, and 10 including the playoffs (630 career games), good for second all time, while Clark is already a close third with seven in just 34 games in her rookie season.
No. 1 in the 20-point, 10-assist games list is Courtney Vandersloot, now of the New York Liberty, with 10 in 421 regular season games and 12 overall, including the postseason (471 career games).
The post went on to highlight that given the numbers, Taurasi has a 20-10 game every 62 games, while Clark has one every five games. That’s apart from the other impressive feats the Iowa Hawkeye legend has had so far, including two triple-doubles.
