Also, I heard during the game that she played 39 games before being drafted? Long season.
Other thing I noticed was that her team failed to make plays; missed shots, poor decisions, lack of team chemistry, etc. A few times it looked like Clark was alone out there.
Probably won't watch another WNBA game this season, unless they repeat the TV scheduling, but I won't be surprised if Clark looks better in a few weeks. She's not just a shooter, she's pretty multi-talented as far as I can tell, and that versatility is usually what helps young players be successful.

The funny thing is, Im kinda intrigued only bc id like to see her play well. Once she gets there I doubt I'll be interested. To me the pros are a lot more physical and swarming on defense but the offense just doesn't feel very explosive like it does in college. I caught around the end of the first half. She was doing pretty well pre injury. But the 4th quarter she was terrific until she was next level awful for a few minutes. But it was because her passing was next level and it seems like they finally figured out the pick and roll. I'm taking the Over on assists next game because at least shes starting to punish defenses for swarming her
I think she’s starting to click and the team is getting better working with her. But from the looks of it she’s not playing with a full deck. That #1 pick from last year looks like she misses an absurd amount of easy layups.
