Clark was the fastest rookie in WNBA history to record 100 points and 50 assists. She did so in eight games. She recorded 200-plus points and 50-plus assists in 12 games. And she notched 200-plus points, 75-plus rebounds and 75-plus assists in 15 games. All WNBA rookie records, per David Suggs of The Sporting News.

She led the league in assists per game, three-pointers made per game and logged the most points and assists by a WNBA rookie ever.

She's truly a phenom.
