Aaliyah Boston is on timing right now. Aaliyah Boston may have pulled something off during this offseason that will completely unlock Caitlin Clark. We got to get to it.
Aaliyah Boston has been putting that work in. The best duo in the league, Caitlin Clark and Aaliyah Boston. That pick-and-roll is a thing of beauty. It’s like watching Stockton and Malone. There’s nothing better than a Caitlin Clark-Aaliyah Boston high ball screen action where you got Aaliyah Boston as the roller going to the short roll, the long roll, everything.
Aaliyah Boston may have added something that is going to unlock the MVP GOAT Caitlin Clark even more. Let’s take a look at this right here. You see Aaliyah Boston top of the key right here. Aaliyah Boston from three. Bang. Aaliyah Boston from three. Bang. She’s been working out. She’s working.
Do you know how much this changes things if Aaliyah Boston is not only able to work out of the short pick-and-roll, but she’s able to pick and pop from three with Caitlin Clark as the ball handler? It’s unstoppable. This duo is unstoppable if she can pick and pop and knock down threes. The same reason a lot of y’all like Dantas, because she can stretch the floor.
If Aaliyah Boston can start consistently stretching the floor from the three-point line, she’s already a monster down low on the post. She’s already a monster being the roller in P&R situations. Aaliyah Boston, I like what you’ve been doing. Not only from the top of the key, we working everywhere. She’s putting in the work everywhere. This is how you earn your $6 million. You’re looking like $6 million right now.
From the corner. That means she can space the floor from the corners now. She doesn’t have to sit in a dunker spot. She doesn’t have to sit on the block in the lane. She can actually be a floor spacer. Aaliyah Boston is putting that work in. This is what we need.
This is going to unlock Caitlin Clark on a whole another level. You come trying to blitz Caitlin Clark out of them ball screen actions if you want now. I dare you. Come do that now and see what happens. I’m excited about this. Aaliyah Boston is definitely putting the work in.
Now, you guys know the one problem is the coach. But maybe something good is going on. Cheryl Miller showed up yesterday. Maybe she could talk some sense into Stephanie White. Cheryl Miller was in the house. Got a picture with her and KK. It’s always a beautiful sight when Cheryl Miller is around. That’s a living legend right there.
I think with the addition of this three-point shot, Caitlin Clark is going to be completely unlocked, especially when teams try to blitz her. It adds a whole another layer to the offense with the fact that Aaliyah Boston is able to step out to that three-point line, not only in pick and pop, but on the weak side and space the floor and be in the corner and keep that big out of the lane because they have to respect the fact that she can shoot that corner three.
If she can consistently do it, it changes this offense. The lane should be wide open for Caitlin Clark to turn the corner and cook. It should be wide open for Kelsey Mitchell coming downhill. I’m telling you, it adds a whole another layer to this offense.
Now, there are still plenty of concerns to go around, obviously with head coach Stephanie White. We just don’t trust her. I got to see it to believe it. I don’t believe you, Stephanie White.
This is courtesy of ESPN where it says Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark aims to stay fresh by handling the ball less.
Caitlin Clark had a demand as she wrapped up her media day session on Wednesday inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Indiana Fever star ordered the gaggle of media to crowd together so she could take a photo of them.
She said, “You guys always take photos of me, so go over there and act like you like each other.”
Clark said, waving her hands to move the crowd similarly to how she directs an offense on the court. It was a pretty funny moment.
The two-time WNBA All-Star is clearly used to running the show, but she is prepared to give up a bit of control heading into the 2026 season by playing off the ball for stretches in order to give herself a bit of a rest.
I think that’s going to be an issue. I don’t see her really being able to do that. I think she’s saying it for now, but I don’t think she’s really going to be able to do that. I think once things start going, she’s going to want to get back in her groove, and when things start going wrong, she’s going to want that ball and start making things go right.
Stephanie White probably has plans of her own.
The team has already talked about monitoring her usage in training camp after a litany of injuries limited Clark to just 13 games in 2025. There’s another thought, though: keeping her energized during games.
The 2024 Rookie of the Year has been the primary ball handler on her team since well before college. Having the ball in her hands has been a no-brainer considering she set the NCAA all-time career scoring record and finished number three in career assists. Then Clark led the WNBA in assists and three-point field goals made as a rookie.
She said, “It’s exhausting bringing the ball up 94 feet versus pressure every single time,” Clark said. “So, we certainly need to find somebody that can handle the ball a little bit and give me a little bit of a break.”
The Fever have options. Three-time All-Star Kelsey Mitchell, who might be the fastest guard in the league, has taken that role before. Three-time All-Star Aaliyah Boston initiated offense for the team at times in 2025 as Indiana was ravaged by injuries.
The organization drafted South Carolina point guard Raven Johnson with the number 10 pick, and coach Stephanie White thinks Johnson could help in that role too.
It said, “She can alleviate some pressure with Caitlin having to bring the ball up. Look at the way teams play her 94 feet all the time again. How do we find ways to rest her on the floor? It’s having somebody else bring the ball up, initiate offense, and then get Caitlin into action in the second or third action or the second or third side.”
All this second and third action, second and third side — I’m not going for it. I’m not trying to watch Caitlin Clark standing over there on the side while Raven Johnson is running the show and Kelsey Mitchell. This sounds good now, but when the bullets start flying, it’s time for Caitlin Clark to get that ball in her hands and do what she does.
Raven Johnson was quoted as saying, “Caitlin Clark was helping me through all of the hard times. I asked her probably like a thousand questions yesterday.”
Clark isn’t trying to give up all control, but she is taking fewer reps early in training camp drills against her natural instinct. Learning how to be effective without the ball and seeing how the offense runs when she gets the ball after initial movement is new for Clark, but it won’t be a complete change.
“I’m the best transition player in the league,” Clark said. “That’s where I thrive. Everyone knows that’s my game. So, getting off the ball, getting the ball off a rebound in transition, that’s probably when I’m going to be primary ball handler more than anything. So, I think there’s a lot of different things that can give us a lot of different looks and just make us harder to guard.”
She sounds like she’s open to this idea for now. I don’t think it’s going to last long.
