Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are just around the corner from opening the 2025 WNBA season next week. As the team prepares for opening day, fans and media have been tuned into Clark as she enters Year 2 of her career.
On X on Saturday, Sports Illustrated WNBA analyst Lundberg expressed the differences in Clark as the Indiana Fever played the Atlanta Dream in their final preseason game.
"I think Caitlin Clark may have even increased her range. She is shooting the deep ones like they are nothing," Lundberg wrote on X.

Clark has been known for her logo 3-point shooting ability since her college career at Iowa. This preseason, fans got a taste of her elite shooting ability during the Indiana Fever's preseason game against the Brazil national team.
The Fever played Brazil on Iowa's homecourt, where Clark relived a deja vu moment of hitting a deep 3-pointer off the left side of the logo. It was the same shot and same place where Clark set the NCAA scoring record.
Clark led the WNBA last season with 122 3-pointers last season. The league will have to figure out how to guard Clark and force her off the 3-point line this season.
Caitlin Clark and DeWanna Bonner form an impressive 3-point attack
The Indiana Fever already had league leader in 3-pointers in Clark, as well as the league's second-best 3-point percentage shooter in Lexie Hull, last season. But now with DeWanna Bonner, Indiana has put together an even scarier shooting team.
Bonner and Clark played against each other several times last year, with Clark's first and last games of the season coming against the Connecticut Sun. Bonner told reporters on Thursday that it's better to be on a team with Clark than against her.
"Just feeding off her energy and her will to win. She wants to win, and that's been really fun and getting to run around with her is defonitely better than chasing her around," Bonner said.
Bonner and Clark each knocked down a 3-pointer during their final preseason game against the Atlanta Dream. The duo will be a pairing to watch this regular season as the hope with bringing Bonner to Indiana is for the team to make a deep playoff run after a first-round exit last year.
