    Caitlin Clark now leads the WNBA in three-pointers made, posting 54 threes on the season, per StatMamba on X. Clark soared to the top of the WNBA's ranking after shooting 3-7 from beyond the arc in the Indiana Fever's recent 89-77 loss to the Seattle Storm on Thursday.

    The Indiana point guard finished the game with 15 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds. There were questions about Clark's talent translating to the WNBA, but she's quickly shut down any doubters.

    Clark leads all first-year players with an average of 16.3 points and 6.6 assists. She also posts an average of 5.4 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 0.9 blocks. She's the only rookie to be in the Top 5 in these major statistical categories.

    Clark is arguably the leader to win the league's Rookie of the Year award, battling with Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese.

    She's dealt with immense pressure her first year in the league, but Clark has still managed to produce at a high level, leading a young team as a 22-year-old rookie.
