This is our final update on the overrated garbage hyperbole on Caitlin Clark, the third-best player on the Indiana Fever, based on advanced sabermetric statistics. Forget that the mediots somehow gave her enough MVP votes that she finished in the Top 5 vote, despite the following facts: an all-time record number of turnovers, the third-most sabermetric value on her own team, and falling 1.9 Win Shares short of the Top 10.

First, she broke the all-time single-season record for turnovers by a whopping 78 giveaways (almost 2.0 per game). That is incredibly bad, and it’s one reason she finished third on her own team in sabermetric value (see below). Turnovers negate a lot of good things, like Clark’s leading the league in assists. It’s the same as throwing a lot of touchdown passes but throwing a record number of interceptions at the same time. Logic? Nah.

As a result of her unreal amount of turnovers and her terrible shooting percentages (fifth on her own team in Effective Field Goal percentage; third on her own team in True Shooting Percentage; an ugly 34.4-percent rate on three-point attempts), Clark finished with a 103 Offensive Rating, which projects points produced per 100 possessions, with a 100 OR being absolutely average. Guess what place on her own team?

Seventh. That’s right: Clark was seventh on her own team in producing points for the team. Seventh. But stupid WNBA mediots put her in the Top 5 of the MVP vote. How thick can you get? The league leader posted a 119 OR, for comparison’s sake. It just boggles the mind how anyone could think Clark was “valuable” when she shouldn’t even be in the starting lineup for her own team when it comes to the maximizing the roster for scores.

Second, on the list of ridiculousness, is the statistical reality that Clark earned only 3.0 Win Shares this season, as two of her teammates were better than she was in adding value to the team’s record: forward Aliyah Boston (4.5) and fellow guard Kelsey Mitchell (3.2) both brought superior contributions to the Indiana Fever’s 20-20 record this year. The same order was confirmed for WS/48, the best true indicator.

In fact, Boston’s WS/48 mark (.148) was significantly higher than Clark’s mark (.086), with Mitchell being between them again (.101). One reason the Fever didn’t win more games? Clark’s usage rate (27.7 percent) was significantly higher than Boston’s usage rate (20.6). This means the team’s coach literally has no idea what she’s doing, when the best player on your team—Boston, by far—is not getting the most usage. Unreal.

Third, Boston put up 6.0 WS last year as a rookie to finish in the Top 10, and Clark’s 3.0 WS this year demonstrate she was half as valuable to her team this year as Boston was to the Fever last year. And with the 10th-best player in the WNBA coming in at 4.9 WS this year, Clark’s 3.0 WS mark is way out of the Top 10. We don’t want to waste our time figuring out Clark’s place in the league for sabermetric value, but …

If she was third on her own team, and there are 12 teams in the league, Clark would be lucky to be in the Top 30 overall for Win Shares—yet the voters placed her fourth in the MVP voting. Are they blind? Yes. Are they sucking up to some league agenda to promote Clark? Yes. You cannot claim that someone who finished third in sabermetric value on her own team was somehow the fourth-most valuable player in the league, overall.

Unless you’re just flat out lying to profit from it, which we know is what is happening across all sports. The WNBA is a financial loser, held up by the NBA, and we all know the NBA has had financial agendas for decades. Promoting Clark based on bullshit has worked well for the league, though, so it’s not going to stop. But it is up to smart fans to realize for themselves that Clark is an overrated turnover machine who can’t shoot.

Just look at her performance today in her first playoff game: 11 points (4-for-17 from the field, including 2-for-12 from downtown). Her team lost by 24 points, because … again … her usage rate is too high for someone who was seventh on her own team in contributing to overall team scoring. But the CBS writer decides to spin it as much as possible for the 75 percent of the audience that lacks critical-thinking skills.

Don’t say we didn’t cover this all summer long, because we did. The mediots treat the audience like a bunch of mindless morons from an Orwellian society that can’t follow logic to save their own lives. Then again, when people want to be lied to, it’s a lot easier to just give them what they want. Sadly, that is not what reality is based upon, so ignore common sense, facts, logic, math, rationality, and reason at your own peril, folks.
