How many of those guys can't dunk? Who in the NBA can't dunk? I know she doesn't have to, but it speaks to physical ability. When those guys get a layup their hand is above or near the rim. Caitlyn's? At least a foot below, if that? Unless she's all by herself it's getting blocked.
They're strong enough to establish some kind of position to get off their shot.
They can jump high enough to get off their shot.
They can beat people down the floor to get off their shot.
There's more, but.... you get the idea.
Caitlin is great but, almost any move she makes an NBA player is going to recover (if he loses position at all) to catch her, block the shot, or make it so she can't get the shot off.
If she goes to her "shoot from the logo game", that is NBA+ caliber, it still won't work. They can guard her tight and not let her shoot.
If from the logo her quickness let's her get by them they'll run her down and block it from behind. The worst perimeter player in the NBA is quicker than her.
She can certainly shoot with the best of them, but she can't compete physically with any of them. Offensively, from time to time, she may get an open spot to shoot from. Defensively she wouldn't stand a chance.
Serena Williams is a very strong women. When asked about playing men she said something along the lines of she only wants to play women, that men's tennis and women's tennis are almost two separate sports. Physically Caitlin is not Serena.
