Clark hasn't played a minute of professional basketball yet, and her impact has gone beyond just jersey sales. Clark's anticipated selection on Monday night drove a spike in ticket interest last week. In addition, the WNBA made sure to put Fever games in front of a nationally televised audience, with 36 of the 40 regular season games now slated to be on national TV this summer.
Clark concluded her career at Iowa as college basketball's all-time leading scorer, and was a two-time national player of the year.
Her Steph Curry-like shooting ability will surely have an impact in the WNBA when she takes the floor this summer.
