 WNBA Star Caitlin Clark Gets Compared To Mavs’ Luka Doncic By Coby White

Bulls guard Coby White drew parallels between Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and Mavs sensation Luka Doncic while watching Clark create NCAA history. During the NBA All-Star Break, Chicago Bulls guard Coby White traveled to Iowa City to show support for his girlfriend Cameron Williams, a Michigan player. He also saw Iowa standout Caitlin Clark smash Kelsey Plum’s all-time scoring record of 3,527 points.

White highlighted one particularly memorable occasion in which Clark hit a 3-pointer from the logo to create a new career scoring record, in addition to praising her extraordinary skill and talent.

Coby White heaps praise on Caitlin Clark

With an off-the-dribble 3-pointer that made history, Clark broke the record early by making Iowa’s first field goal. White, who was astonished with Clark’s deft play on the court, called the encounter and her accomplishment “dope.”. White told Chicago Tribune,

“It was dope,” “Obviously I watched her on TV, but it’s a lot different seeing her in person. She’s crazy good. She’s talented, super skilled. For her to hit the logo 3 to break the record, that was a dope moment.”

“The way that she controls the game and playmakes and gets everybody involved, but also, the step backs in her shot, she reminds me a lot of [Luka Doncic]… They both can control the game so well and get to their spot. She gets to any spot she wants to, she manipulates pick-and-roll. She knows how to use change of pace.” “She’s not really fast, but she’s so deceptive with the ball that that she can get past anybody, any defender,”

“When I was watching her, Luka came to mind.”

Dallas Mavericks guards Kyrie Irving (2) and Luka Doncic (77) spa hands following a second quarter play against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, February 13, 2023.

White likened Clark’s style of play to that of Dallas Mavericks player Luka Doncic while seeing Clark play. White draws comparisons between them because they are both skilled playmakers and dynamic perimeter shooters. In particular, White notes how they use change of pace to trick the defender and control the game in the half-court.

Any player that is compared to Doncic is highly regarded, but Clark’s spectacular highlights and all-around talent allow for this comparison.
