Caitlin Clark is experiencing the best stretch of her career in the WNBA, with numbers that should be generating much more buzz: 25.4 points and 9.1 assists per game over the last five weeks, accompanied by a 64.9% True Shooting percentage and a spectacular 42.5% from beyond the arc.

The Indiana Fever star is proving that her impact goes far beyond the media frenzy that followed her arrival in the league. Clark is one of the most dominant and efficient players in the competition, yet paradoxically, this outstanding form is not garnering the national attention it deserves.

An extraordinary offensive level

The numbers reflect a significant evolution. Clark is not only scoring more but also combining scoring ability, efficiency, and playmaking. Her 9.1 assists show she remains the engine of Indiana, while her 42.5% from three-point range turns every possession into a threat for opposing defenses.

The 64.9% True Shooting is particularly noteworthy as it demonstrates that this offensive volume comes with immense efficiency.

 

The WNBA needs to better market its stars

Clark's case raises a question that transcends Indiana. The WNBA has an increasing amount of talent and figures capable of generating interest, but it needs a much more powerful promotion strategy to translate that talent into audience and national relevance.

Clark should be one of the prominent faces of this expansion, alongside players like A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, or Angel Reese. It's not about relying on a single star but harnessing the appeal of all of them to attract and retain fans.

The WNBA has the stars. Now it needs to ensure the audience can see them and learn their stories. If Clark is playing the best basketball of her career and is barely part of the national debate, the league still has a lot of room to enhance its promotion of its own product.
