fter two weeks in the WNBA, the stars of the 2024 rookie class are starting to find their footing in pro basketball. Cameron Brink is becoming the anchor of the Los Angeles Sparks and recently posted her first 20-point ballgame in the WNBA.

Angel Reese has held down the fort in Chicago while another rookie, Kamilla Cardoso, continues to recover from a shoulder injury that has delayed her debut.

But most pairs of eyes have been fixated on Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, the top overall pick in last month’s draft and arguably the most-hyped prospect in the 27-year history of the W. Clark was a serial winner with the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA, but similar success has eluded her in the early days of her career in Indiana — part of a steep learning curve that many guards before her had to go through.

Clark’s trial by fire in the WNBA has seen her endure a rollercoaster start to life in pro basketball. As of Tuesday, she leads the entire 144-player league with 5.3 turnovers per game, while her Fever have posted a 1-6 record.

However, Clark also has three 20-point games to her name, and Indiana has had an extremely difficult schedule to begin the year. That paints the 22-year-old in a more favorable light, especially when comparing her to Brink and Reese.
