Despite playing just five professional games, Caitlin Clark might already be the face of the WNBA. However, some critics suggest that status is not yet warranted.
Clark was the first pick in the WNBA Draft last month by the Indiana Fever after cementing herself as arguably the greatest women's college basketball player of all time.
The Iowa Hawkeyes legend became the NCAA's all-time leading scorer last year and set numerous other college records.
The only thing missing from her resume is a championship after she lost back-to-back title games to LSU and South Carolina.

Clark's pro debut was the most-watched WNBA game since 2001. That came after she was the star in the four most-watched women's NCAA games ever, three of them Iowa's final three games of the most recent March Madness tournament.
Ahead of her game Friday, Clark was asked about the "narratives around the attention" she's gotten "versus some of the vets that have been in this league for a long time."

"To be honest, I'm not really on social media. I don't read that," Clark said. "This is my job. My job is to compete and play basketball every single day. I think the more attention we can get on every team around this league, that's only going to help me get better and better.
