Sophie Cunningham seems very sure of where she belongs in the interior framework of the Indiana Fever. An offseason addition, Cunningham is relishing the idea of a supporting role along with Clark, the team's number-one pick in the last draft and an imminent headline-grabber.
Cunningham's Witty Comparison: Sabrina to Clark's Taylor Swift
While appearing on the podcast from Kansas City, which is not far from her hometown of Columbia, Missouri, Cunningham wittily compared herself to a pop-star sidekick.
"I will be her Sabrina Carpenter, any day, to her Taylor Swift," Cunningham said, laying out her willingness to complement Clark's leading presence.
A New Chapter with the Indiana Fever
After six seasons with the Mercury, Cunningham has now landed at the Fever. Last season, she averaged 8.4 points a game and shot commendably from three-point range at 37.8%. With her experience and shooting skills, she will be a major addition to the Fever roster.
When it comes to teaming up with Clark, she has given expression to her excitement: "I am so excited for this. She's a great human, too. She has a lot of pressure and a lot of eyes on her shoulders, and she handles it so gracefully."
Besides this, she praised Clark's great playmaking skill, stating, "One other thing: She passes the ball, which I enjoy." You know, she set the league record last year with 337 assists because she sees the court so well and is extremely unselfish."
Remade Fever Roster Like a Rocket Taking Off
Cunningham is one of the new faces in the Fever roster this season. The Fever has strengthened its prospects with the addition of veterans and talents such as DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard, Jaelyn Brown, and Sydney Colson to complement Clark's superstar appeal.
Sophie Cunningham's enthusiasm in carrying out her new role with the Indiana Fever reflects her team-first mentality and readiness for the success of the organization. As Caitlin Clark shines in the spotlight, Cunningham and the revamped roster of the Fever are about to find a chance to showcase their talents in the WNBA. Keeping veteran leadership coupled with the youthful style of play, the Fever is in the midst of forming a team truly capable of competing at the highest level.
