Throughout her rookie season with the Fever, Caitlin Clark has averaged 17.8 points and 8.3 assists per game. She’s helped put the Fever in playoff contention. Indiana (13-15) is seventh in the WNBA standings.

If Clark can lift the Fever into the postseason, it will be the team’s first trip to the playoffs since 2016.

Clark hasn’t just shown that she’s an elite rookie, either. She’s established herself as one of the best players in the WNBA, recently competing in the WNBA All-Star Game.

The rookie was a starter in the All-Star Game and led Team WNBA to a 117-109 victory over Team USA, notching four points and 10 assists in the outing.

As Sharpe explained, even at the highest level, competing against veteran superstars, Clark has still shown her ability to produce despite the scrutiny she faces.
