Her teammate, starting center Temi Fagbenle, has been thoroughly impressed by Clark’s abilities, especially her playmaking prowess. Fagbenle expressed, “I’ve only had a few of those kind of point guards, who just know, see the play before it’s happened… regular point guards I’m like they didn’t see it… but Caitlin saw that!”
Fagbenle herself has found success alongside Clark, achieving career-high numbers in her first season with the Fever. She’s averaging 9.6 points and 5.4 rebounds, a testament to the positive impact Clark has had on her teammates.
