Caitlin Clark is a generational talent and has forever changed the face of the WNBA and women's sports. She was voted Time magazine's Athlete-of-the-Year and some of her comments rubbed some people the wrong way. I thought they we're compassionate, passionate, and spot on. Crystal Bradford has on the other hand gone flown under the radar. She is attempting another comeback, her 3rd to be exact in hopes to return to the WNBA. She is playing for Athletes Unlimited for the second year in a row and she is unquestionably one of the most skilled women's basketball players in the world. Hands down. She makes a team instantly better because of her length, ability to finish at the basket, at the mid-range level and behind the arc and defensively. She can guard any one of the five positions on the floor and is an incredible leader and communicator.
