    Caitlin Clark is off to an amazing start in her WNBA career, with a viral graphic showing just how elite the Indiana Fever rookie has been so far.

    Clark set the WNBA single-game record for assists, dishing out 19 in a loss to the Dallas Wings on July 18. She has already broken the single-season rookie record for assists, passing Ticha Penicheiro's 224 set in 1998, and her 8.3 assists per game lead the WNBA.

    Clark has been a well-rounded player, also averaging 17.9 points per game.

    As the X account Clark Report noted in a viral post, the rookie's fast start has put her in some exclusive company. The post noted that Clark has joined an "ELITE" group of four players across the NBA or WNBA to record more than 500 points and 200 assists before their 30th career game -- and the other three are already in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

    The other players to accomplish the feat were all from the NBA -- Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Isiah Thomas. The Clark Report post captured some viral attention, attracting tens of thousands of views and hundreds of likes within an hour of being shared.

    Some fans found Clark's inclusion on the list even more impressive than the others.

    "And WNBA games (40 minutes) are 8 minutes shorter than NBA games at 48 minutes. Makes her stats even more astounding," one pointed out.
