Just a few minutes into the Indiana Fever's media day, general manager Lin Dunn was asked to compare Caitlin Clark to a pair of Birds — Sue, who Dunn drafted No. 1 overall in 2002, and Larry, who turned the NBA's Boston Celtics into an instant contender in 1979.
Whether Clark's career takes off like theirs remains to be seen.
For now, Dunn wants the Fever's 22-year-old star rookie to focus on getting acclimated to the pro level, getting in sync with her new teammates and focusing on making the playoffs. The rest can be debated later.
