Basketball analyst Rebecca Lobo believes Caitlin Clark is “the best passer in the league.”
While speaking on SiriusXM NBA radio, Lobo, a former NCAA and WNBA star, gave this year’s No. 1-overall pick the title.
“She’s incredible,” Lobo said.
The 22-year-old Clark averages 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists, but the other side of the coin reveals that she commits a hefty 5.6 turnovers per game.
“Her turnovers are always going to be a little bit high because of the chances she takes, especially with get-ahead passes,” Lobo said.
“She’s looking to thread the needle: Oftentimes it makes it there, and sometimes it doesn’t.”

Clark caught the eyes of many in her most recent outing, the WNBA All-Star Game.
She helped Team WNBA defeat Team USA ,117-109, where she posted a game-high 10 assists – one shy of the WNBA All-Star Game record held by Sue Bird.
Even her rookie rival, Angel Reese, praised her.

“It’s so cool. I know when she gets the ball I’m running to look for the ball because I know she’s gonna throw it,” Reese said of Clark during an ABC interview Saturday night.
She also left Jonquel Jones – and fans – in disbelief with one of her assists that night.
The star threaded a pass perfectly that met Fever teammate Aliyah Boston near the top of the key before finishing the layup.
“I had to watch this many times to figure out how indeed the ball got to the hands of the receiver. Around 2 players. Perfect timing,” one user wrote on X.
Another added, “She is in shock by the pass, keep in mind that she plays with the point guard for the USA national team.”
Lobo also addressed the other mechanics of Clark’s game.

“And what’s remarkable too is that she still hasn’t found her 3-point shot at the rate that she will, but has adjusted,” she said.
Early in the Fever’s season, there were rough outings where Clark struggled to get things going.
Social media users claimed “chucking up long 3s is not going to help her or this team,” and others said she was “shooting like trash.”
Notably, on June 13 against the Atlanta Dream, Clark shot 3-for-11 from the field and 1 of 6 from 3-point land.
After the poor outing, Clark was spotted working on her jumper in a practically empty Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
But, with more games and reps under her belt, she’s adjusted to the WNBA’s style
“She’s taking less of the logo bombs, she’s driving more and finishing,” Lobo said.
“She’s getting her points that way, and her assisting has been off the charts, it’s been really fun to watch.”
