WNBA expert argues Caitlin Clark is ‘underrated’ despite calling her the ‘second-best player’ in the league

WNBA analyst Tony East has claimed that point guard Caitlin Clark is "underrated" despite being called the "second-best player in the league." East, an Indiana Fever reporter, believes Clark's offensive prowess has been unmatched since her standout performance against the Seattle Storm on July 18. He further stated that Clark's shooting has been efficient, and her assists are tied with Alyssa Thomas at around 8.3.

East considers Clark as the best offensive player in the league. However, he seems to think A'ja Wilson, a forward for the Las Vegas Aces, is the best player overall. Yet, Clark has been playing at an elite level in recent months, averaging 26 points and 10 assists per game. If she leads her team, the Fever, to a championship in the upcoming playoffs, East believes she could prove herself as the league's top player.
