- Yes, I can imagine Jewell or Sky helping out.
- But, in the Iowa game, CC only had Kate Martin helping to create her own shot.
With Indiana, she'll have Mitchell, Smith and Boston to take pressure off her.

- Lastly, I might be an outlier here, but as good as Nika Muhl was in the first half, she was getting tired and accumulating fouls in the second half. Plus Clark (and Martin) were figuring out ways around it.

Your point holds, of course, and Taurasi and Bird are bringing up that the vets will attack Clark with tricks she isn't ready for. Agreed. But she's good enough to learn and counter...with help from her teammates.

Late add: I just saw CC talking at her intro press conference. She doesn't expect to score 40 a game and wants to be part of the overall team. Smart. She'll get the lay of the land and then raise the game as needed and appropriate.

I watched the Iowa -Penn St game, where Stuelke scored

47 points. PSU was geared to stop Clark, double and triple teaming her, so she took what they gave her. Which was feeding a wide-open Stuelke all night long. i think Clark wouldn't mind doing that all season long with Boston if it brings a bunch of wins with it. And, btw, Clark still scored 27 with all the defensive pressure that night from PSU.
