Untitled Section

Article in need of update - she plays for Indiana Fever now, not Iowa Hawkeyes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:6511:3004:3171:34CD:3644:592B (talk • contribs)

Rookie of the Year

Could someone please add a mention of her (near-unanimous) selection as Rookie of the Year to both the Professional Career section and the Lead section? -- Ssilvers (talk) 09:27, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Career Highlights and Awards

This section is missing a lot of things:

- 4x WNBA Rookie of the Month (2024) - 3x WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month (2024) - Associated Press unanimous Rookie of the Year (2024) - WNBA 3-point field goals made by a Rookie (2024) - WNBA all-time most points scored in a Rookie season (2024) - WNBA first Rookie to record a triple double (2024) Bluelsm13819 (talk) 16:50, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Legacy Section

Is "Legacy" the best title for this section? Shouldn’t that term only be used after enough time has passed to fully assess the impact (and lasting effects) of someone's contributions?

Just to be clear, this has nothing to do with the contents of the section, only the title. This is purely a question of word choice. MiddleAgedBanana (talk) 08:34, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Professional Career

Shouldn't you catch up with Caitlin's current status? She has left the WNBA and is going overseas to play in Europe. 184.59.149.158 (talk) 20:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
