Offensively yes she's a work in progress but she has hit threes and midrange jumpers on and off all season and I'd expect that to improve as she gains more experience. The tools are there for her to improve offensively and if she does she could be Kawhi lite imo.
It's funny how when the Fever were losing everyone blamed her teammates. Now they are barely 500 "her teammates owe Clark everything"?? Mitchell has been balling since the start of the season so I don't agree that it's solely down to Clark.
Also I think that excuse regarding her turnovers is weak. Quality players don't give the ball away as prolifically as Clark does and it's a habit she had in college too. And what makes it worse is many of them lead to easy buckets for the opposition. When the playoffs start that's when such habits really come home to roost as they did when she lost back to back finals with Iowa.
If you wanna talk about qb's then Brett Favre might be a good Clark comparison tbh. But I digress.

Clark throws dimes to her teammates and they miss the pass, so turnover for Clark. Also, I've never in my life heard a group of people argue so hard that one basketball player is better than another and their main argument is that the player is superior because of rebounding.
Reese is fine, but she's not more valuable than most of the scrubs in that league. Clark will go down as the best women's basketball player of all time and Reese will be the girl that tries to bully her like some middle schooler.
