(40,050 posts)Elite shooter, ball handler and passer. Once she gets a teardrop shot in the lane down shell be a threat to score 50.

(70,303 posts)While she obviously us a great shooter, Tim Legler says she's a great SCORER because she's an elite passer!
She sees the court so well & can pass with both hands, that there is no way to cheat defensively on her.
Overplay one side, bring the double team too soon and she'll be feeding teammates for layups all night.
He said because of that, she is always in a place where she can create her own open shot.
He said she's the best passer he's ever seen in women's basketball at any level.
I buy his analysis. The defense doesn't just fear her shooting. They have to fear her teammates because if they're open, Clark will find them.
