Well, Clark is way ahead of Angel Reese in terms of performance. While Reese is excelling in rebounds, Clark is making waves with three-pointers, scoring, and even assists. For her, record-breaking is slowly becoming a habit. Even in the last game against the Connecticut Sun, she etched her name in the record books for most three-pointers by a rookie, knocking down 86 shots.
In the process, she overtook Rhyne Howard, who had 85 three-pointers during the 2022 campaign. For Caitlin Clark, this isn’t the only record she has shattered; it’s one of seven she has broken in her rookie season. From assists to scoring, Clark has dominated it all.
