Hi Phil! No questions, Clark had a great rookie season. She set the record for assists in a game and set the season record for assists. However, the latter deserves an asterisk as the WNBA has been increasing the number of games in the season over the last few years. It went from 34 to where it currently stands at 44. Because of this, most aggregate records have been broken. Clark averaged 8.4 assists per game last year in breaking the record. Courtney Vandersloot averaged 9.95 assists per game in 2020. The only total record broken last year that would have been broken even with the old number of games was A’ja Wilson breaking the total points and average points record. She averaged 26.9 points per game, eclipsing Diana Taurasi’s 25.3 points per game.
Despite Clark performing well on paper last year the Indiana Fever, which also boasts all stars Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, finished an unimpressive 20-20.Last year Clark’s Win Share was 3.0. For comparison, A’ja Wilson’s win share was 10.9. Even her teammate Kelsey Mitchell’s Win Share was 3.2 which corresponds to my feeling that at this time Clark is the second best guard on the Fever.
