The 22-year-old Clark averages 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists, but the other side of the coin reveals that she commits a hefty 5.6 turnovers per game.

“She’s looking to thread the needle: Oftentimes it makes it there, and sometimes it doesn’t.”

“I had to watch this many times to figure out how indeed the ball got to the hands of the receiver. Around 2 players. Perfect timing,” one user wrote on X.
Another added , “She is in shock by the pass, keep in mind that she plays with the point guard for the USA national team.”
