I keep hearing chatter that Caitlin Clark might get drafted by an NBA team. Her shooting is good enough to make up for her lack of a floor game.

Lack of a floor game?? The NCAA leader in assists (and triple doubles and double doubles) lacks a floor game??

No way. The NBA would be much too physical for her. Don’t kid yourself - it may be called a non-contact sport, but at the college and pro level it is very physical.

Nonsense on many levels.

Do you know much about basketball? I think not.

Here’s a quick flash quiz:

How big is a men’s basketball?

How big is a woman’s basketball?

Speculate: how good would NBA players be with the smaller “girls ball”?

Speculate: how good would she be with the larger men’s ball.

Fact: the hoop is the same size. Do the math.

Is she a dead-eye on long threes? Without the weight/height/physicality, she won't be able to do anything. Short players like Barea or Iverson have to be aggressive, physical, or amazingly good to be successful. And by short I mean 5-11, and isn't that where she's at? Does she have the weight to back that up?
