Fever head coach Christie Sides wants Caitlin Clark to create more shots for herself. In fact, Christie wants Caitlin to be less “unselfish” with her passing.
The Fever are still reeling from Sunday’s disappointing loss to the Chicago Sky. Despite the absolute box-office rivalry matchup that included a filthy Caitlin Clark 3-pointer, the team let a 15-point lead evaporate. (They also could not stop Angel Reese down the stretch. Not good.)
After looking at the film and having time to digest it a bit, Christie Sides thinks something that could help the Fever going forward is if Caitlin Clark created more shots for herself. Per Matthew Byrne of Clutch Points, this is what Sides shared with the media on Tuesday:
“I think sometimes she’s being a little too unselfish at times…I mean, she had 13 assists the other night against Chicago…if you’re open, she’s gonna hit you.”
“I think she turns down some shots. I’d like her to take some shots that, when she comes off, she knows she has the green light.”
Christie Sides on the balance for Caitlin Clark shooting & making the right pass: “I think sometimes she’s being a little too unselfish… I think she turns down some shots. I’d like her to take some shots that, when she comes off, she knows she has the green light.”
