You have to go back to Semoine Augustus to find a guard that just came in and was immediately on the MVP radar.

I'm curious to see how her strength will translate. One low-key thing about Clark was how when she drives, people just can't get her off her path. She doesn't look super strong, but is clearly packing some immense core strength. If the driving immediately translates, that means she'll have room to bomb away from 3.

She's going to a team that already has Aliyah Boston commanding all kinds of attention on the interior, so she's going to be set up to succeed.

she's pretty big for a wnba guard right

Being a 6'0" guard in the W is probably the equivalent to being a 6'4"-6'5" guard in the NBA. You've got a size advantage against plenty of matchups but you're still close to your positional average.

I heard it was equal to 6'6
