Anti-Caitlin Clark ESPN pundit tries justifying claim that Clark isn't among the best guards in WNBA

"What bothers me is when this is framed as some sort of petty jealousy or insecurity by these women in the WNBA," Dennis began."I don't think you can make a compelling argument that Caitlin Clark is a top four guard in the WNBA," he added.A week later, former WNBA player and NFL analyst Stacey Dales challenged Dennis' argument on-air.She embarrassed him.

So much so that he shifted the conversation, claiming Clark's style of play doesn't translate to winning.Since Dennis made those remarks, Clark has played seven games (July 17 through Aug.2), averaging 26.1 points and 8.6 assists per game.

Since then she's put up some of her best games of her career and is on a heater.Some of the other players I had ahead have slumped a bit too," Dennis wrote."I think I'd put CC #4 right now.

Paige, Olivia and Kelsey are all still above her and there's not really any way I'm coming off that right now.CC is still in the tier right below."He then took another shot at Clark, this time because of one mediocre game during that seven-game stretch:"Also another reason these people are unserious is bc they were all in my mentions for two weeks but it's crickets after a game where she was the fourth best guard on the court.

If I were a real hater I'd be back at it with them but ...
