I thought last year, and you look at her numbers, it was the most efficient year that she's had. Less shots, most efficient. All-star performance. She's an all-league performer in my mind, no doubt about it. But I think our system and the way that we can continue to play to her strengths and put her in positions for success, I think it's going to be really good.

We're going to free her up to just play. You know, we're going to we're going to use her and Caitlin and a lot of stuff together. We're going to use them as screeners and a lot of action to then open them up.

I mean, we all know everybody knows if you're a great score, if you can be a great screener, you're going to get a lot more shots, you know, and then we're going to put her in position to do what she does best and break down the defense. And and we're going to have other action to where it's not like here you go Kelsey. You got to make a play and then we're just watching right?

And and we're going to have other action to where it's not like here you go Kelsey. You got to make a play and then we're just watching right?

So we're going to give her multiple options in that action, you know, and then I think she can be a real key for us on the defensive end of the floor. She's been relied upon so heavily offensively in her time in Indiana. And of course, you know had the most talent that she's ever had around her a year ago. And I think this year will be will be even more so.

So take some pressure off of her to feel the burden of having to make the play. But also, I think she's going to get more wide open looks than she's ever gotten before because of who we have on the floor because of their ability to space the floor.

Yeah. No, you know, I think number one, we got to be vocal about what's acceptable and what's not. Doesn't mean that people are going to change. I think we've all been online enough to know that there's a lot of hate out there. There's a lot of vitriol out there.

But I also think we have to step back and look at, you know, I think that there are people and there are, you know, a lot of different algorithms out there that are specifically using

whether it's Caitlin Clark, whether it's the Indiana Fever or the WNBA in general, to further these hateful narratives that aren't WNBA fans, that aren't Indiana Fever fans, that aren't Caitlin Clark fans, to be quite honest, utilizing that. So I think, number one, for our team, our challenge is going to be What do we allow inside the building? What do we allow inside the locker room?

We've got to be very protective of our space. We got to be very protective of our team. If you don't have the ability to shut it down, then we have to have and utilize the resource to be able to keep it on the outside. We cannot allow that to infiltrate our building. And then on a global scale, I think for us as a staff, as an organization, as a league, we have to continue to be vocal

about what is expected, what is accepted and what is not. There is no place for the hate, the vitriol, the language, the narratives that have been spewn upon the WNBA from last season to this season. And look, part of being a great league, and our male counterparts have seen this as well, some of it comes with it. Some of it comes with it. And you can root for your team.
