Landing the number one overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft evidently means that the organization had a forgettable season.

However, if there is any player who can finish this tough task, it's her. Taking a look at Clark's stats should be enough to highlight her incredible talent.

Clark has played 29 games for the Iowa Hawkeyes this season and put up 32.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game for the team.

On top of that, Clark has shot a solid 46.9% from the field and 39.5% from downtown.
