The Golden State Warriors star forward Stephen Curry has heaped praise on Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark for her shooting ability.
The 22-year-old is being tipped for greatness in the WNBA as she recently became the highest-scoring college basketball player ever, not only in the women’s category but also in the men’s category as well.
Many Pundits believe that Clark is on her way to greatness just like Curry, largely because of her ability to score three-pointers at will, something which has been the speciality of the Warriors star for a number of seasons.
The 35-year-old was recently quoted in a report where he not only heaped praise on the youngster but admitted that there is similarity between his play and how Clark plays as well.
“I’ve been watching from afar and understanding just how much of a power she is out there on the court,” he said. “The cool part is the way that she plays, and her range, and the level of difficulty on her shots is obviously a very close comparison to the way that I play.”
Curry further went on to state that while Clark’s shooting can be classified as exceptional already but her other play is also admirable.
"I think it almost robs her of like the rest of her game,” said Curry. “Because she’s such a good flood [general], she has her overall floor game. She’s racking up close to triple-doubles every night. Her shooting ability is her super power but the rest of her game is as polished as that, so this is must-see TV.”
