NBA legend lauds Caitlin Clark's development over rookie season
Basketball Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas dished on Caitlin Clark's skill on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich."

Over the course of the grueling season, Clark has more than impressed the basketball world and has drawn massive audiences both in arenas and on television.
