As the 2025 WNBA season approaches, Indiana Fever’s dynamic pair, Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, continue to attract the interest of fans across the globe. Clark has openly admired her teammate Boston, the 2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year.
In a recent statement that has sparked excitement among Fever fans, Clark highlighted a key strength that sets Boston apart from her WNBA contemporaries: her exceptional movement and ability to create space on the court.
Caitlin Clark’s Praise for Aliyah Boston Shines in Recent Post
On April 7, 2025, one user on X shared a moment that showcased Clark’s appreciation for Boston’s talents. In a clip from the NCAA women’s basketball national championship game between UConn and South Carolina, Clark shared her admiration.
“I give Aliyah Boston a lot of credit. … People don’t realize how good of a passer she is. there’s a few games where she almost got a triple-double because she moves and distributes the ball really well. You gotta give a lot of credit to Aliyah.”

Clark pointed out Boston’s smooth passing but also emphasized her overall movement and how she creates open looks for herself and others. According to Clark, Boston’s footwork and feel for spacing let her glide through defenses, roll to the hoop, and find the right angles to either score or set up teammates. It’s a key reason she’s become such a versatile threat in the Fever’s offense.
How Boston’s Movement Gives Her an Edge Over WNBA Rivals
Boston’s knack for moving around the court with intention and finesse is something Clark can’t stop raving about, and for good reason. It’s what makes Boston stand out among other WNBA post players.
Standing at an impressive 6’5″, Boston isn’t just a towering presence; she’s got this incredible agility that lets her glide through the paint and even step out to the perimeter with ease.
You could see her using her movement to carve out space for her own shots or to pull defenders away from the basket, creating opportunities for her teammates. Over time, this ability has only gotten sharper, especially as she and Clark have fine-tuned their pick-and-roll chemistry.
Boston’s movement does so much more than just help her score — it’s like a chain reaction that transforms the game. When she moves, she pulls defenders out of position, clearing a path for Clark and guards like Kelsey Mitchell, who were a dynamic backcourt duo in 2024.
It opens up lanes for the guards to drive to the basket with ease. On top of that, Boston always seems to know exactly where her teammates are, passing the ball with pinpoint accuracy, just as Clark mentioned. In games where she’s come close to a triple-double, her ability to move, find open players, and create space has been a game-changer.
Heading into the 2025 season, this skill could be the Fever’s secret weapon, especially with new teammates mixing things up. With Clark’s playmaking and Boston’s movement skills, the Fever could really make some noise in the WNBA.
