So, what does Clark think of Bueckers? The Indiana player only had praise for her rival:
“To me, you love going up against great competitors… I’ve always been a fan of her and her game and the way she carries herself.”
Clark added: “I think she’s smooth in everything she does. She’s efficient. She can shoot, she can hit the midrange, she can get to the rim. She’s a three-level scorer. What makes her tough to guard is that she has so many tools.”
One of Clark’s most notable remarks was: “At the end of the day, she’s a winner—and that’s the kind of person you want on your team.” Clearly, Clark holds Bueckers in high regard and doesn’t hesitate to express her admiration for her talent and performance in the WNBA.
