Kara Lawson declares Caitlin Clark as one of the best point guards in the world.
Current Team USA coach Lawson was in attendance during the Commissioner’s Cup game between the Indiana Fever and Atlanta Dream on Thursday.
Lawson was in the broadcast booth for the game, and the Duke Blue Devils head coach gave Clark massive praise.
Lawson made her opinion of Clark's elite playmaking very clear.
“I mean she’s one of the best playmakers in the country, in the world,” she said. “...not just the country right?”
Lawson had the privilege to witness Clark's playmaking firsthand, as she played under her during the FIBA Women's World Cup qualifiers in March.
Clark averaged 11.6 points and 6.4 assists in five games, en route to winning the tournament's Most Valuable Player award.
Her most notable performance was the double-double she posted against Senegal, when she finished with 17 points and 12 assists.
Clark also helped Indiana secure a 83-71 win over Atlanta in front of their home fans at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year concluded the game with 17 points, seven rebounds and eight assists.
But the night belonged to her teammate Kelsey Mitchell, who had the team-high 25 points and joined the 5,000-point club in the league.
This win also secured their first Commissioner’s Cup victory this season, as the Fever look to defend their crown.
Clark successfully bounced back from her forgettable performance in their game against Portland, where she only finished with six points, six assists and two rebounds.
