Sophie Cunningham on Caitlin Clark
Sophie Cunningham is set to become the only player to team up with Diana Taurasi and Caitlin Clark in the WNBA. Cunningham spent six seasons in Phoenix next to the legendary point guard who called time on her career this offseason.
Cunningham believes there are similarities between the two. The new Fever 3-and-D specialist compared Clark's playmaking to Taurasi's, saying (h/t Yahoo.com):
"You know, you always have to be ready for the ball, head on a swivel at all times. The way that (Clark) throws balls is a lot like how DT threw it.
“I think this is just the younger version of her. (Clark) has a little bit more energy, a little bit more spunk. I missed DT in her prime, but that doesn't mean she wasn't great when I played with her."
Sophie Cunningham is expected to add to the Fever's spacing with her shooting ability. She could turn out to be the ideal piece in a system formed around Caitlin Clark's strengths.
