Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs and Caitlin Clark of the Fever in the WNBA. Two Draft No. 1s
San Antonio Spurs (DR) / Indiana Fever (DR)

Just as the NBA season was marked by the exploits of Victor Wembanyama, the WNBA season will live to the rhythm of Caitlin Clark’s successes.

 Moreover, faced with the criticism received by the young woman, an elder made a comparison between the two prodigies.

The WNBA is in the midst of a revolution and one name is behind this sudden development: Caitlin Clark.

The first player called up during the last Draft, in a particularly talented crop, the former star of the University of Iowa is already treated like the biggest superstars. Just listen to the fervor of the fans for his last match:

Caitlin Clark in similar situation at Wemby at Spurs?

Despite the passion surrounding the player and the team, the results are far from good for Indiana with a record of 0 wins and 4 losses.

A frustrating situation for spectators who expected to see the Fever overpower the competition with such a player in their ranks.

On ESPN , Richard Jefferson made a comparison simple enough to calm the most impatient minds

Can I say something? I’m speaking to anyone new to the WNBA… Caitlin Clark is like Victor Wembanyama.

Everyone was unanimous about him, but he found himself on the worst team in the league.

The Spurs were terrible, even with him. It’s going to take time for Indiana to win games!

For Richard Jefferson, criticism about Caitlin Clark and her collective results is irrelevant.

Despite her talent, she finds herself on the worst team in the league and cannot change the face of the franchise in just 4 games.

Like the Spurs with Victor Wembanyama, this first season will above all be one of adaptation to the highest level.

The most important thing will therefore be to find her a role in which she excels, and above all in which she can get the best out of her teammates.

In a few years, like the Frenchman from San Antonio, there is no doubt that the No. 22 will meet all expectations and win titles. In the meantime, fans will have to be patient.

Victor Wembanyama and Caitlin Clark have the ability to revolutionize the game in the NBA and WNBA.

But for that, we will have to give them time to learn how to win at the highest level, which is not easy.
