That’s not just talk. Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, is coming off a sensational rookie year where she averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game. With a full offseason of training and conditioning under her belt, she's bulked up and laser-focused on reaching the next level.
Clark knows what it takes to reach the biggest stages. During her time with the Iowa Hawkeyes, she led her team to back-to-back NCAA championship appearances in 2023 and 2024. Though she fell just short of a collegiate title, her hunger for victory has only grown stronger.
