00:00Miles, let's take a look at this rookie class that has been absolutely sensational here,
00:07bringing in the ratings and certainly the play to back it up.
00:09You take a look at Kaitlyn Clark here, 16.3 points per game, 6.6 assists per game, 5.4
00:15rebounds per game and rookie of the year odds, you're coming in at a minus 9.50 price.
00:19If we had to assess the early part of Kaitlyn Clark's career, is it about what you expected
00:24or is she exceeding expectations?
00:25How do you feel about it?
00:28Yeah, I don't know the last player that had these kind of external expectations put on
00:34them, but Kaitlyn is pretty much exactly in line with where my expectations would have
00:39been.
00:4016.3 points per game is 16th in the league.
00:43She's fifth in assists, like you said, with 6.6.
00:46The three-pointers, she was shooting 14 a game when she was in college and now that's
00:51down to eight a game, so she's only making 2.8, which is still top five in the league,
00:55but the percentages aren't quite where we would love to see them.
00:59I think what we've seen from Kaitlyn recently is that she's getting more comfortable on
01:05the court and that she's facilitating more.
01:07She's taking fewer shots, but more efficient ones.
01:10So I think we're seeing her learn in real time, which is exactly what we should expect
01:14from a rookie.
01:15So it's been overall a success and now that success is starting to come on the court as
01:19she kind of gets more comfortable.
