Courtney Williams puts Caitlin Clark's greatness into perspective

If there was any doubt left about Caitlin Clark's talent, she proved those doubters wrong after her rookie year. While Clark has acquired a massive fanbase and become an immovable force in the WNBA in just one year, there are still those who believe that the Fever superstar is overrated.

Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams took the opportunity to put the Fever star's greatness into perspective. On April 25, in conversation with her dad, Donald Williams, she gave the Fever star her flowers.

The WNBA star said that it was already very hard for the players to adjust to the WNBA after transitioning from college. She added that people didn't give enough credit to Clark for breaking the assists record in the rookie season.

"Caitlin Clark a problem bro," Williams said. "I just think about my rookie year and I think about how I came into the league and I am like bro, it was such a crazy transition for me to just understand what it's like to play at pro level."

"This girl come in as rookie and she broke the record for assists. I don't think people really understand like how crazy that is to do as a rookie...Shoutout to Caitlin, she is only gonna get better."

Clark led the league in assists per game [8.4] and was the first rookie to do so. With 337 total assists, she surpassed Alyssa Thomas [317] for the most assists in a season by a player.
