Steph Curry responds to a reporter’s question about Jordan Poole’s struggles for the Warriors at times this season.
Steph Curry's impact on the game of basketball knows no bounds.
Just about every young hooper these days wants to emulate the Warriors star player. As Iowa Hawkeye guard Caitlin Clark's star shines bright during the NCAA Tournament, she is hearing more and more comparisons to the Splash Bro.
"She's a Steph Curry of women's college basketball, that's why," Smith said when asked what makes Clark unique during Friday's "First Take." "She has [an] unlimited range. She's got a handle. She can get to the basket. She's aggressive with this.
"She averaged 27 [points per] game this season. She's just a sniper. She is lethal, and I love watching her. She's one of the greatest attractions in college basketball. She can pull up from the parking lot. We like that."
Curry revealed what makes Clark special and one of the most thrilling players in March Madness in a recent interview with ESPN.

The Warriors guard recognized Clark's 3-point shooting as the Iowa star can shoot routinely from the logo. Clark averaged 8.9 3-point attempts per game and shot 38 percent from beyond the arc this season.
"No shot is a bad shot when you can shoot it as well as she can," Curry said. "When you watch them play, she just adds the element of surprise that you can't really game-plan for. Because it's so unseen in the sense of when she crosses half court, she's in her range."
