Draymond Green’s honest quote about Caitlin Clark went viral

The WNBA season is currently on hiatus while the 2024 Olympic Games take place in Paris.

Earlier this year, there was much discussion about the fact that Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark not selected to play for Team USA.

Recently, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green spoke about Clark (via his podcast The Draymond Green Show, h/t The volume And Coupling points).

Green: “I think Caitlin Clark should have been on the U.S. team. It’s great for the brand. We always talk about the brand, so let’s not pretend that it doesn’t matter now. When you think about what the 1992 Barcelona Dream Team did for the basketball brand. The W are still in that phase of the NBA. The W is there, so it has to be about spreading that worldwide, and she’s the biggest star in women’s basketball… I think A’ja Wilson is going to be the GOAT. Purely from a branding and marketing standpoint, Caitlin is the greatest.”

Clark was selected first in the 2024 WNBA Draft after a legendary three-year run at Iowa.

She is currently averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 40.5% from the field and 32.7% from three-point range in 26 games.

However, the Fever have only a record of 11-15 in their first 26 games.

Without Clark, Team USA is doing well.

They have a perfect record of 5-0 throughout the tournament.
