Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

Complete apples/oranges trying to compare those two. But, PM did average about 38 shots per game in college. That'll end up being about twice what CC averaged per game.
LOL.

First sentence: that’s comparing apples/oranges. You can’t do that.

Third sentence: comparing them, PM shot about twice what CC averaged per game.
 
Yes. It’s a list of players who had 15+ years playing in the NBA. It’s not a very relevant data point. The longer your career, the more turnovers you will have.

A better metric will be turnovers per game or turnovers per minute played
I was going by turnovers per game. Magic is #3.
 
There's a much bigger gap between CC and #2 in the assists per game category. :)
How bout turnovers ? Lol I mean honestly who cares if she is this amazing then a conference title should matter over personal achievements you’d think. Iowa fans give zero effs about the conference title it appears

I see this as more of a problem. People don’t care about the sport, they just care about one person that’s transcending the sport. Not surprised to see a tennis player commenting on it because that’s exactly like tennis.

They don’t even care about Iowa. I was in a bar a few weeks ago and everytime she scored they all cheered. When the rest of the players scored it was crickets. Very very odd
 
Actually, I don’t really care. She is a great basketball player.

I don't think anyone really questions if she's a great basketball player... it's all the other stuff she does on the court when she's not playing basketball that's the issue. With the exception of not getting back on defense... that ticks me off to no end. Her teammates all rush back on defense while she walks or slowly jogs back half the time.

I am not comparing them. Dumbass Hawk fans are the ones comparing them. You are right it’s apples and oranges. Pete’s numbers far surpass anything Clark will end up with.

3.9 turnovers per game with 11.2 assists per game. Bad example

Edit: for comparison, CC averages 4.5 turnovers for her collegiate career, which would be #1 all time in the NBA even with the collegiate game being 8 minutes shorter than the nba. She also averages 8.0 assists per game, which is a pedestrian 1.77 assists to turnover ratio.

Magic had a 2.87 ratio. Stats don’t lie :)

Which you responded that comparing them was apples/oranges, right before making the comparison.
I do agree. It's kind of like people trying to compare scoring records of women's NAIA players with CC. If CC played NAIA or D3 she'd average 50+ a game.

Lol. Allen Iverson's assist to turnover ratio was 1.72.

Everyone knows he sucked.
