    WNBA legend Cheryl Miller is thoroughly impressed by what she's seen from Caitlin Clark so far.

    On Monday, Miller was asked to share her thoughts on the Indiana Fever rookie — and the Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer didn't hold back.

    "There are a lot of shooters out there. There are shooters that are natural. Shooters who work on their game. Shooters who need several screens to get open. You can set a screen for Caitlin, but Caitlin don't need a screen. Caitlin's got great handles," Miller said. "The one thing that I don't think people really appreciate about that young lady's game — she can pass the ball."

    Clark is averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and a league-leading 7.8 assists per game midway through her rookie season as the Fever's No. 1 overall pick. The frontrunner for the 2024 Rookie of the Year trophy was named to the All-Star team in her debut campaign.

    Clark and the Fever will face off against the Dallas Wings on Wednesday night in their final game before the WNBA's month-long midseason break.
