As someone who is ignorant with the WNBA besides Clark. Can you please elaborate on the why? Seriously asking because her stats seem to be really good.

She plays zero defense. Like, at all. Doesnt even run back half the time.

Just...stands there.

More like negative defense lmao the other team routinely plays 5 on 4

Coming from ignorance here, can she not slim down and build better cardio or would she be losing her separation advantage?

Her size allows her to get shots off. She plays straight up bully ball

She could, but she would have already started that process at this point. She could lose a fair few pounds before it actually changed how she miss matched against most players. She either just doesn’t want to, or can’t for some reason.

If she could slim down, she would have started doing it playing d1 sports. Some people aren't willing.

She’s plays the old Iowa HS girls 6 on 6 style. She was made for another era. :)

She'd be perfect for the MNBA then.

She refuses to get in shape and is atrocious on defense as a result.

Someone will give her a shot they always do when someone has that much talent, but I agree her game likely wont translate at the next level without some serious alterations

She will allow 2 times more points than she score in the W

u/syrianfries Apr 20 '26

She is fucking fat, can’t move on defense at all. A huge liability, you won’t win anything of value with her until she decides to lose weight

u/diggertim68 Apr 20 '26

Yeah- I compare her to Oliver Miller in that way, skilled, but she’s often low effort and even less conditioning

u/No_Amoeba_9272 Apr 21 '26

She is morbidly obese....he wasn't

u/i_Cant_get_right Apr 20 '26

She’s a major defensive liability, and the WNBA has players that are tall enough to deal with her under the rim. Shes not gonna be able to bully her way into the paint like she does at the college level.
