WNBA legend Diana Taurasi has made her opinion on Caitlin Clark very clear

“Even throughout her short WNBA career, it’s been a lot of pressure, a lot of things thrown at her. She keeps showing up and keeps getting better every single game, so her future is super bright. Being a veteran, being in this league for a long, long time, it’s pretty cool to see that and going into the future.”

Taurasi went as far as to give Clark her stamp of approval when the Fever star chose to wear No. 12 for Team USA – the number Taurasi wore with the team for all six of her gold medals.

“It’s so cool to see Caitlin not only wear the USA jersey, but number 12. I spent two decades wearing that jersey and that number, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to take it and put it on and just have an amazing career,” Taurasi told Sports Illustrated back in March.

Heading into the 2026 season, however, there has been some debate about just how well Clark stacks up against some of the other players in the league. After winning the league’s Rookie of the Year award in a landslide with a record-breaking rookie season, Clark’s stats dipped across the board in her second season, which was also cut short by an injury.

With the dropoff in production last season, coupled with the injury, her reputation around the league seems to have taken a bit of a hit. Clark was left off of The Athletic’s preseason first-team All-WNBA list and was ranked just No. 10 on ESPN’s list of the top-50 players in the WNBA.

Taurasi, however, does not share that skepticism of Clark’s game.

Recently, the women’s basketball legend was asked which WNBA player is currently on Clark’s level. Taurasi had a pretty clear and blunt response: “Nobody.”

While she was once a critic of Clark and her game, Taurasi is now one of Clark’s biggest and most outspoken supporters. And she’s made that very clear.
