Someone in Caitlin Clark’s circle is failing her. Year 3 and still no dribble pull up jumpshot. Year 3 and still no fadeaway. Year 3 and still no shot going right. Someone close to her has to tell her. Trainers, coach, bf, dad , brother etc.

Shoot going right: She must get in the lab and practice going right. I wouldn’t be surprised if her percentage on going left is 99% probability of shooting. Even her step back is always going left. I saw two 3’s where the defender was already contesting before her shot went up because she’s so predictable. She shot 1 shot going right and the defender still had their hands to the side because it was so surprising. The biggest problem of her going left is she pulls her shot from her left pocket. She needs to mimick Kevin Durant he has a similar shot but you never know if he’s going left or right.

Fadeaway and dribble pull up: the only time she goes right is to drive to layup finish. Either the defender beats you to your spot or doesn’t on your drive. If They don’t get there then finish, simple. She’s got that down. Now if they do that’s where the fadeaway and pull up come in handy. Instead Caitlin tries to force the contact with a weird looking floater push shot. It should be a pull up baseline all day when they beat you to your spot. If they contest well that’s where the fadeaway comes in.

Edit: yes I believe she will be fine in the long run. I’m confident she will hit her stride. But really should be showing signs of a deeper bag.
