It's safe to say that no one has ever seen a player like "CC" in the WNBA. From the logo threes to smooth handles and a deluge of dimes, Clark completely captivated the basketball world last year when she turned pro. Fans will be locked in on what she does for an encore in 2025, especially in the season-opener against college rivals Angel Reese and Hailey Van Lith.
