Gondrezick appeared on Monday\u2019s episode of Carmelo Anthony\u2019s \u201c7 PM in Brooklyn\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Co-host Kazeem Famuyide presented the former Sky guard with a hypothetical 1v1 situation pitting Caitlin Clark against WNBA legend Sue Bird. Gondrezick answered without a thought:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m taking Caitlin,\u201d Gondrezick said.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to explain her reason for picking Clark over Bird:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason why I say Caitlin is that she is a scoring point guard. Sue has mastered being a facilitator and she makes her shots when it is important. But Caitlin\u2019s confidence. She comes off as \u2018I\u2019m shooting first,\u2019 I\u2019m taking her because of her scoring mentality, it comes instinctively for her.\u201d                            <\/p>\n<p>While Clark is undoubtedly one of the most exciting players in the WNBA, not many would pick her in a battle against four-time champion Sue Bird, let alone a teammate of her rival, Angel Reese.<\/p>\n<p>Bird was in the league for 19 seasons, spending her entire career with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/wnba\/seattle-storm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Seattle Storm<\/a>. She averaged 11.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. While Gondrezick snubbed Bird, she was quick to select <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/wnba\/diana-taurasi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Diana Taurasi<\/a> when asked about a hypothetical duel between her and Clark.<\/p>\n<p>Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark to join sides for Team USA<\/p>\n<p>Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark\u2019s rivalry is set to take a new turn as the pair are set to share the court again, this time as teammates on Team USA. Clark and Reese were named to the Women\u2019s National Team\u2019s training camp roster, which features 18 players.<\/p>\n<p>The camp is set to take place from Dec. 12-14 at Duke University. The camp will also feature the following players:<\/p>\n<p>Juju WatkinsPaige BueckersCameron BrinkJackie YoungKahleah CopperKelsey PlumRickea JacksonAliyah BostonBrittney GrinerSonia CitronKiki IriafenVeronica BurtonChelsea GrayDearica HambyBrionna JonesLauren Betts<\/p>\n<p>Big news for Caitlin Clark fans as they have not seen the Fever guard in action since July. Clark\u2019s sophomore season was marred by injuries, limiting her to just 13 appearances. She still had an impact, averaging 16.5 points and 8.8 assists per game.<\/p>\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p>\nCancel<br \/>\nSubmit\n<\/p>\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEdited by Sameer Khan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Angel Reese\u2019s former Chicago Sky teammate, Kysre Gondrezick, did not hesitate to back Caitlin Clark in a hypothetical&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":{"0":"post-312769","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
