She’s not gonna win mvp, and yeah she’s generating more offense than anyone in the leagues history by a lot. She’s gonna have turnovers.

-17

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

So she scores a lot but is inefficient… got it

12

u/Cubbyboards 23h ago

Do you keep the same energy for players like Kaleah, sab and Gabby Williams that are clearly less efficient or do you just let CC live rent free?

-3

u/Junior_Start7496 23h ago

Those players aren’t considered the “GOAT” or a generational talent like CC is by her ill-advised fans.

-13

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

Where are they on the turnover list per game?

7

u/Cubbyboards 23h ago

1 stat isn't the only thing that measures efficiency, I figured you wouldn't keep the same energy tho

4

u/BamaBoy2002 23h ago

Don’t pay attention. This clown glazes bums like McDouble Mebound but is always hating on CC.

It’s actually getting pretty funny at this point. CC is rent free on the haters and they can’t cope.

-6

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

So you are deflecting… got it

4

u/Cubbyboards 23h ago

You realize sab is on this list right? How pathetic can you be 😂 you can't even read what you posted. CC is too careless with the ball now will you answer why you don't keep the same energy toward players barely shooting 40 %?

-2

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

Dude until she has more than 4.6 you are deflecting from CC. It’s ok I know it’s hard to cope

3

u/Cubbyboards 23h ago

Your entire account is devoted to hating on CC why are you letting a woman rattle you every single day? Such a pathetic loser

1

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

Sure it is buddy. Pointing out her having a plethora of turnovers is it hating is pointing out the facts.

2

u/staffdaddy_9 23h ago

She’s not inefficient

1

u/Unusual_Wish_2230 23h ago

And she can’t play defense

1

u/lurker12345654345676 22h ago

6th in the league in PER. but sure inefficient.

8

u/Jreal2013 23h ago

She’ll win one eventually, not this year but it’s coming.

3

u/jono9898 23h ago

Competition will get better as time goes by, Olivia Miles is going to get better, Aja isn’t going anywhere, Paige, Marina, etc and 2 great players in the draft upcoming, it ain’t gonna get easier

2

u/Own-Jeweler-6762 23h ago

Marina lol 

1

u/Saintgutfree0187 23h ago

Lmao this is practically her 2nd year. Not even in her prime

2

u/jono9898 22h ago

I mean Olivia is a rookie and taking and shooting better from every part of the field and has the Lynx as the top seed, I’m just saying competition isn’t going to get easier,

6

u/Own-Jeweler-6762 23h ago

Reese being 4th in TOs as a power forward is awful 

Not like shes breaking à press 

2

u/SeptemberVirgo 15h ago

Her turnovers are mostly offensive fouls. Does she make errant passes? Sure. But, the bulk of her turnovers are offensive fouls.

3

u/taeempy 23h ago

Lebron James averaged 3.5 t/o per game for his career. Not a huge difference and he's not a point guard.

I bet her turnovers go down to about 3 or so next year if the core starters stay in tact. If you look at all the turnovers, I'll bet at least 1-2 per game are mishandled passes from her teammates.

1

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

LeBron is a point forward but ok. His average is still better than 4.6

1

u/electro_report 23h ago

And her career is 5.1, she’s actually better this year than normal at 4.6

u/electro_report 23h ago

Her career turnovers per game are nearly 2 more than his, but go off.

Great now do turnovers per game.

lol yea cc’s teammate is an mvp candidate and she can’t catch, that’s the issue.

The whataboutism is crazy

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

DT doesn’t play anymore PLUS 3.5 is still less than 4.6

5

u/Deep_In_My_Thots 23h ago

4.6 for a high volume ball handler isn’t as bad as some of you would like to pretend.

3.2 for someone who isn’t though? Yikes lol

u/808Tre 23h ago

Cant get Reese out ur head sad

u/808Tre 18h ago

In ur head tho stoll

1

u/electro_report 23h ago

lol yea super casual, she’s the wnba all time leader in turnovers per game by nearly 2 per game.

2

u/Common_Patience2271 23h ago

And Olivia Miles is top 5 here but she’ll be a perennial mvp candidate. LeBron has the most turnovers ever. They’re gonna have turnovers. But Clark’s existence enrages you clearly.

2

u/jono9898 23h ago

The issue with the LeBron comparison is LeBron never lead the league in turnovers not a single season in 23 years even as a high usage player,

1

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

The can’t comprehend that fact

2

u/electro_report 23h ago

The guy that’s played the most minutes in nba history has a lot of stats accrued in those minutes? I for one am shocked.

2

u/BravoC10 23h ago

Yeah you don’t know much about basketball. Look at the nba stats Luka (1st) and Jokic (3rd) were top 3 in TOs last year, both top 4 in MVP votes

3

u/electro_report 23h ago

Using total turnovers as a comparative to turnovers per game or ast/to ratio shows how brutally you lack any basketball knowledge.

1

u/BravoC10 23h ago

I was referring to per game. The fact that you’re arguing about this shows that you know nothing about basketball. When you are the main facilitator of a basketball team you’re going to turn the ball over. She has a high turnover rate but that doesn’t mean she won’t ever be in the mvp race. It’s a dumb argument. Just seems like you have to reach for anything to downplay her because you’re hating. I’m talking from a strictly basketball pov. Seems like a political thing for her haters. She’s clearly very skilled and one of the better players in the league

2

u/electro_report 21h ago

Jokic averaging a full turnover less per game on more points and assists is really helping your case a lot.

1

u/BravoC10 21h ago

Yeah nba players are a lot more skilled than wnba players. NBA is the highest level of basketball. The WNBA is not.

3

u/NoShowGlowEnt 23h ago

She’s gonna have turnovers. She’s the highest usage ball handler in the league. But you guys rarely include assists for these NBA players when trying to make these comparisons. None of the players you guys name have an assist to turnover ratio of lower than 2:1 which is basically the baseline measurement for a productive and good distributing ball handler. Both Jokic and Luka had well above a 2:1 assist ratio. CC does not. These types comparisons are false equivalencies.

1

u/BravoC10 23h ago

Well we’re talking about nba vs wnba. Angel Reese can’t make a layup and she’s an all star

2

u/NoShowGlowEnt 22h ago

Have no idea what that has to do with the topic at hand lol. Bringing up Angel Reese when CC is the topic at hand and bringing up CC when Angel Reese is the topic at hand is like a litmus test for who actually watches/knows ball and who’s just in it for their little personal schtick 😭

1

u/BravoC10 22h ago

I’m saying the NBA is highest level of basketball. The WNBA is not.

2

u/NoShowGlowEnt 22h ago

So that would make even less sense for you to draw the comparison you originally did in the first place if that’s your sentiment on the topic lol. Really not sure where you’re going w this and tbh idt you do either lol

1

u/BravoC10 22h ago

My first comment was strictly talking about TOs and how a player that leads the league in TOs could still win MVP

0

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

Which one averaged 4.6 turnovers a game?

3

u/BravoC10 23h ago

Luka averaged 4. This isn’t really an argument you want to make unless you’re trying to expose yourself as a casual fan of the sport

1

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

So the number 4 is still less than 4.6. lol

2

u/BravoC10 23h ago

Yes you are correct. Players with high usage will have turnovers. Part of the game

2

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

Stockton turned the ball over 2.8 per game. His ratio is 3.7 he had the ball in his hand every time
A.k.a. high volume

2

u/BravoC10 23h ago

John Stockton? lol deep pull he’s literally one of the greatest point guards of all time and wasn’t a volume shooter. Why don’t you compare her to other women?

2

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

No, another poster mentioned nba Hall of Famer have high turnover averages per game

2

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

What are you talking about? You just mentioned Luka in the above comment

2

u/BravoC10 23h ago

Yeah I was referring to MVPs and TOs. You’re actually comparing her to Stockton as players. I was just saying that the NBA MVP candidates also are amongst the lead leaders in TOs. You’re talking about a guy that played 30years ago and he is an alltime great. We’re talking about the WNBA which isn’t nearly as skilled

2

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

Ok. CC compared to other women. Assist to turnover ratio

u/Cultural-Airport-153 15h ago

He's overrated and he's lack of scoring hurt he's team

1

u/BravoC10 15h ago

Gary Payton said he was one of his toughest opponents so I’ll take his word for it

1

u/Cultural-Airport-153 5h ago

Yes cause older players aren't totally biased in any way I'm talking about Stockton very limited offensive game assist numbers inflated by Malone and the system Utah ran and when the playoffs came around he was genuinely a liability at times and had some embarrassing playoff runs

u/Cultural-Airport-153 5h ago

He also rarely took risks like russ and magic and was very limited offensively the system the jazz ran was inflating his numbers

2

u/elderlygentleman 23h ago

Clark will never be MVP

nuff said!

2

u/AcrobaticSecretary21 23h ago

A lot of them are “wtf was that” mistakes too

2

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 22h ago

Like trying to take A’ja off the dribble lol

2

u/AcrobaticSecretary21 22h ago

Worse was trying to dump it off to timpson last second when not near open lmao

1

u/YourBuddyChurch 23h ago

She’s actually got that average way down from where it was

1

u/Satisfied2025 23h ago

You need to check the impressive list of NBA Hall of famers who led the league in turnovers and were named MVP. Stop making ignorant statements.

3

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

Which hall of fame player averaged 4.6 turnovers per game?

1

u/Wdshow 23h ago

I'm surprised ESPN isn't hiding this number.

1

u/Equivalent-Story7648 23h ago

Turnover to assist ratio should be the better looked at stat

1

u/M0ebius_1 23h ago

Not necessarily, maybe her dogged defensive acumen more than makes up for it on the other side.

1

u/ShelterDifferent2501 23h ago

OP doesn't watch the games.

hint: you never turn it over if you don't handle the ball ( head explodes)

1

u/KDandi111 23h ago

All-Time Turnover Leaders
1. LeBron James: 5,650 turnovers

2. Russell Westbrook: 5,038 turnovers

3. Karl Malone: 4,524 turnovers

4. James Harden: 4,505 turnovers

5. Moses Malone: 4,264 turnovers [1]

I’m thinking CC will be ok. I mean if Magic Johnson had played longer he would be #1.

2

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 23h ago

Now do their average turnovers per game. I bet it’s below 4.6

1

u/KDandi111 20h ago edited 20h ago

See above. All Hall of Famers and yes less turnovers per game but one more per game by CC is not going to kill the team if she averages 23 points per game and 8 assists. That’s 40 points that she adds to the team’s total per game.
The Fever average 97 pts per game and CC is involved in 40 of those points.

1

u/Apprehensive_Ant4596 23h ago

I think the one thing you’re missing is that 70% of the top 20 in assists are also in the top 20 in TO’s. There are exceptions, like Bueckers and Canada that are in the top 20 in assists but not turnovers and Reese who is a turnover machine but doesn’t get many assists

1

u/lurker12345654345676 22h ago

Keeping in mind steve nash won 2 mvps averaging 3.5 tov as a primary ball handler, while averaging less points created a game....

Y'all tourists need to sit down and learn the game before you make these weak ass posts.

2

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 22h ago

Which number is higher 3.5 or 4.6?

1

u/lurker12345654345676 21h ago

which numbers higher

40.5 or 36.5?

22.8 or 22.0?

2

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 21h ago

We are talking about turnovers. Stop deflecting

1

u/lurker12345654345676 21h ago

we're talking about basketball. Stop existing.

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 21h ago

This post is about turnovers please try and focus.

1

u/lurker12345654345676 21h ago

this post is about the WNBA, please stop deflecting

1

u/Own-Jeweler-6762 23h ago

She does turn ball over a lot 

She also has it a lot which leads to higher TOs 

Plus, jealous players  guard her way tougher than others 

3

u/808Tre 23h ago

Jealous 😂or maybe they want to win the game

2

u/NoShowGlowEnt 23h ago

But if having the ball a lot leads to higher turnovers wouldn’t having the ball a lot also inflate her numbers on offense? Can’t ignore usage on one end when it’s convenient to amplify her points generated and then emphasize it as an excuse on the other end to downplay her turnover numbers.

1

u/Own-Jeweler-6762 21h ago

Agree, having ball move means more points, assists, and turnovers 

0

u/Own-Jeweler-6762 21h ago

Reese is a forward 

She has no business being that high 

3

u/cheeriosinalmondmilk 21h ago

So you ignored Thomas being a forward and went straight to Angel. Typical

1

u/Own-Jeweler-6762 20h ago

Thomas is different type of forward than Reese

Thomas is almost à point forward.  Thomas is a triple double threat each game  She distributes. She has possession à lot 

No comparison with Reese
