There's no denying Clark had a rough night to get her WNBA career started. Pouring in 20 points isn't too bad, and her three-point shooting was more than acceptable at 36.3%.

However, 10 turnovers is brutal. You simply can't win games when the star player is turning the ball over at that rate.

Having said all that, Clark is going to be just fine. There are certainly people rejoicing in her struggles. She's a rookie making the transition from pro to college. Clark is going to struggle at times. It doesn't mean she won't still be a great player. Get your mocking in now because there will definitely come a time where the opportunities for the haters won't exist.
