Keith Porter reveals plan for Caitlin Clark's development

Caitlin Clark had a historic rookie season with the Fever. Her ability to score and pass was off the charts, promising a more dangerous Clark in her sophomore season. Keith Porter expected nothing less.

Porter spoke on the issue before the season began:

"My goals for Caitlin, I just want her to destroy everything. ... I wanna give her the extra tools where now, the way teams used to play her, you can’t do that anymore. You can’t force her to take these shots.

"I want her to just feel super comfortable in every scenario, every coverage, whatever it is and just destroy teams, right? You know, the goal is ultimately a championship."

Unfortunately, Clark's stellar sophomore season has been stunted by injuries. Earlier this season, she was out with a quad injury before being sidelined with a groin injury.

However, Keith Porter's impact on the Fever offense has been noticeable this season. Both Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston are having a very impactful offensive season this year.
