Before we get to the WNBA All Star game tomorrow
night, there is the skills competition in the three-point contest
as well.
Now just to clarify a couple of statements that we
made yesterday, both Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ganescu were offered
spots in the three-point field and both politely declined.
So that's why they are not involved in the three-point
shootout.
But the favorite to win the three-point contest at an
even plus 100 price, that's Kayla McBride of the Minnesota
Lynx, the most made threes this year at 76.
As we look at the skills challenge, Erica Wheeler, a
three to one number is the favorite.
J Wise New Jersey girl Marina Mabry there at a
+ 330 price as well.
JY, how will you approach the handicap of the competitions
on All Star Weekend in Phoenix?
Isn't it amazing that the third people have realized this,
that they don't watch WNBA?
The 3rd and 4th odds to win the three-point shootout
are both 6 foot five centers, Stephanie Dolson and obviously
John Quail Jones.
That just tells you it would have been nice to
see there would be a lot more sizzle if Sabrina
and Nescu and Caitlin Clark were in a three-point shootout.
Something tells me they may end up and some kind
of NBA All Star game format next year.
I call two on two.
I want to see the two of them together against
Steph Curry and a player of of his choice.
But we talked about this competition.
Caitlin rides a favorite.
I am going to go Marina Mayberry to win the
three-point shootout.
I think she is a dynamic shooter and now Caitlin
McBride lead to lead in threes, but she's had some
moments where she's gone a little bit cold.
I think Mabry can take her out and I'm going
to go with the favorite.
Wheeler with a dynamic quick lightning guard can shoot the
ball pretty decent.
I'll go with her to go and win the skills
challenge.
