    At this point in her basketball career, both in college and at the professional level, it's become pretty clear that Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark can just about do it all.

    Whether you're asking her to shoot it, drive it, pass it, or defend it, Clark has shown so far as a rookie that there are few in the game who can succeed at quite the level that she has been able to.

    Now, as we're nearing the final stretch of the regular season, Clark has also moved into the front of the pack when it comes to one surprising statistic among guards in the league.

    Blocks.

    Of course, when you're looking at blocked shots from guards, you're not going to get the jaw-dropping numbers that you would expect from forwards or centers. But still, Clark is averaging 0.9 blocks per game as a rookie, with eight games of having two or more blocks this year.

    In the WNBA as a whole, Clark ranks 15th in the league in terms of blocks per game. At the moment, A'ja Wilson leads the way with 2.7 blocks per game, while Ezi Magbegor blocks 2.4 shots per game.

    A single block per game may not be what makes her great, but it certainly contributes to the incredibly entertaining and dominant package that is Caitlin Clark.
