Despite the undeniable talents of Napheesa Collier, A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Alyssa Thomas, and Arike Ogunbowale, just to name a few, the WNBA league offices have put all of their eggs in the Caitlin Clark basket.

The first and only time Cailtin Clark and Paige Bueckers faced off at the WNBA level was on July 13. Clark led the Indiana Fever to a dominant 102-83 win over the Dallas Wings with a 14-point, 13-assist double-double, drawing first blood in what is expected to be a long and competitive rivalry between these two young stars.

Bueckers led Dallas with 22 points, but the rest of the starters combined barely matched the star rookie’s contribution.
