Why Caitlin Clark should skip the Olympics regardless of Diana Taurasi's status | What's Wright?

Diana Taurasi has returned from an injury scare that could have kept her off the 2024 Summer Olympics roster. Her brief absence from the court raised questions on whether Caitlin Clark should replace her and even if she deserved that initial spot instead of the Phoenix Mercury veteran. However, Nick Wright does not believe so, as he breaks down why not being on this year's Olympic team is good and necessary for the rookie guard.

What's Wright? with Nick Wright

[WhatsWrightShow]

Should Caitlin Clark be on the Olympics squad over Diana Taurasi regardless of injury status?

[JokoReantasoMusic]

I rarely agree with Nick but he's wright on this one

[AllAboutTruth]

Wright's right. I almost vomited upon seeing the double-double thirst stat padding fail by Reese vs Liberty. That was zero integrity.

[MrBrutal]

Caitlin has already represented America internationally at a youth level and it is eminently short sighted to exclude her on the criteria of having no previous experience of playing with the senior national team. How do you get experience unless you are offered the opportunity to play?

[eminussleepus]

comparing Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese is like comparing Stephen Curry vs Andre Drummond

[scottluther]

They have like 3 hurt girls on the team, Chelsea hasn’t even played. They just don’t like that people want to watch CC. She’s a great PG, her 3 pt shooting is always under pressure because they are all over her. She rarely left open and when she is her teammates don’t find her the ball. She passes better than anyone in than anyone in the wnba with more assists even considering how many fumbled and dropped passes. The team is finally getting that if you make a move to the basket you better be prepared to get the pass no matter how covered you think you are. if you’re open under the basket, expect the ball even if she’s driving the lane. The girl is not a ball hog or a stat padding scorer. Even getting a triple double was about winning not personal achievement. She epitomizes team player.

[darrinsmith]

I personally think she shouldn't even think about joining the USA team because I want to see her beat the USA team as an all-star! Wouldn't that put them in their place LOL

Media: Reese has the edge for roty

CC: hold my beer

[kbdemonbain]

im glad someone in the media finally said it
that double double hunting if happening in the nba that player would get roasted
westbrook got roasted people saying he was stat padding for his triple double
the fact angel reese was in the game with 13 seconds left getting blown out just to try and get a double double is sad and should be beneath her

[billsmith]

She's played more competitive basketball than any woman in the world over the last year. She needs a break.

[mohamedhersi]

now we can finally say there are not 10 players on that team that are better than her

[DecaturQue]

ROY race was close for a couple games. Then CC sped on off.

[phantom]

getting assist in the wnba is impressive, these players are actually bad

[michaelt]

Nick is 100% right. Catlin shouldn't put herself in the environment with the coach and that team. She should rest and get right for the Fever playoff push..

[El_Bueno]

Nick, nobody will care about the teams coverage without her. She needs to be on the team.

[un-commoncents]

A portion of cc turnovers are from players missing the passes. If you are going to give someone a rebound when their shot is blocked, you have to give the turnover to the player who doesn't catch a good pass.

[BobG-pibb]

The media coverage of this “double/ double” thing was hysterical. First, I think angel is a heck of a rebounder and a steal at pick number 7 for Chicago. In the right context, I’m not anti-Angel. But when Chicago is in a blowout loss and angel is still pushing for shots because she’s stuck at eight points, the media on the opinion side should be roasting, not taking it seriously. Especially since she was looking ridiculous trying to get extra shots and any fair assessment of the videos of it and context would say that.

[richardtoribio]

I agree with Nick Wright. CC needs to take a break!

[volfancp]

CC should say NO, no matter what. She needs a break to rest and get ready mentally for a playoff run. She has nothing to prove by being on that team. It would just give her critics more bs to talk about. Don't do it CC.

[robklavins]

Love watching his son just having a laugh at how right he thinks he is. Nick Wright can’t stop talking about himself! We all appreciate how chill is family is. His wife must be so cool.
