Caitlin Clark uncharacteristically airmailed a jump shot, and hoops fans immediately became coaches, suggesting she get in the gym.
Caitlin Clark had a rough outing against the Connecticut Sun. During the team’s blowout loss, she hit one of her signature logo 3-pointers, but everything else was pretty ugly. DiJonai Carrington trolled Clark for her well-known flopping during fouls, and Alyssa Thomas didn’t break a sweat when she casually snagged a ball from Clark. Unfortunately, it didn’t stop there.
Hoops fans also noticed that Caitlin uncharacteristically air-balled a left-handed floater that was pretty close to the basket. In a clip from the game, even a broadcaster can be heard saying, “Completely missed,” as Clark let the shot fly, as if he, too, was stunned.

The moment sent social media into a tizzy and prompted so many suggestions from hoops fans. Here’s what they said:
Brutal 8 foot airball by Caitlin Clark. Absolutely has to develop a mid range game. Needs a floater and a pull-up jumper for when she is ran off the three point line. One dimensional player at this point. pic.twitter.com/DX3N6o7hWh

Been saying for years Caitlin Clark needs to add a pull up or a floater to her game
Anybody who says else doesn’t know ball
Even Steph Curry who she is compared too has an immaculate in between game https://t.co/W6zt6gZsLy pic.twitter.com/BMvPq3vn0p

Caitlin Clark still needs to develop a floater/teardrop in her game. And she needs to be okay with taking mid range jumpers. Just my observation.

Caitlin Clark gotta work on that left hand and the floater this offseason, she’s not a one trick pony but offensively all she can really get is threes right now
