Caitlin Clark admits she could have shot better from 3-point range in her rookie season

While Caitlin Clark proved she was an efficient shooter during her WNBA rookie season, she admitted she could have been better from beyond the arc.

She spoke about it in hindsight, highlighting how the professional setting is different from college:

"I feel like I definitely haven't shot it to the best of my capabilities this year, but I feel like I've had a lot of tough rolls. I think I'm definitely taking harder shots. I'm contested pretty well on a lot of shots..."
