‘This Is Wild,’ ‘Who Gives These People a Platform?’ – Outrage Erupts As Analyst Claims Jackie Young Deserved All-WNBA First-Team Over Caitlin Clark

Caitlin Clark earned a spot on the All-WNBA first-team following a 2026 campaign where she averaged 22.3 points and 8.3 assists per game. Despite these numbers, podcast host Trysta Krick sparked significant backlash by arguing that Jackie Young was more deserving of the honor.

Critics of the take pointed to Young's early-season struggles, including two scoreless outings in May, and noted that Clark's production occurred while she served as the primary engine for the Indiana Fever. Supporters of the selection highlighted that Clark's performance remained elite even after recovering from injury, whereas Young benefited from playing alongside league MVP A'ja Wilson.
