Caitlin Clark has concluded her collegiate journey, but her influence on the sport remains palpable, as evidenced by the statistics.
Among her notable achievements, Clark joined an elite group as the 15th NCAA Division I women’s player to surpass the 3,000-point milestone. Additionally, she shattered Kelsey Plum’s NCAA women’s career scoring record and surpassed former KU star Lynette Woodard. Notably, she also claimed the title of the NCAA men’s and women’s all-time scoring leader, surpassing the legendary “Pistol” Pete Maravich.
Finishing her career with an impressive 3,951 points, Clark’s dominance was undeniable.
Her impact was so significant that a comparison chart was created, juxtaposing Clark against nearly 10,000 other Division I college basketball players in terms of assists and points. Positioned as the green dot on the chart, Clark’s prowess was evidently far superior to what many had initially realized.
Caitlin Clark is the green dot on this chart.

Caitlin Clark’s Dominance In The WNBA Means Everyone Wins
We’ve never seen a generational talent quite like Caitlin Clark be this polarizing of a figure in sports early in a career. This is especially huge for women’s basketball.
Caitlin Clark has undeniably become a television sensation, especially when leading Iowa on the national stage. Her appearances on national television draw in massive ratings and significantly boost attendance.
Remarkably, despite not being drafted yet, her potential impact has already prompted the WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces to relocate a game to a larger venue, anticipating a surge in ticket sales upon her arrival.
If she fulfills her potential and emerges as the next Stephen Curry or LeBron James of the league, it will undoubtedly bring substantial benefits to the WNBA and all its stakeholders, both in the present and in the long term.
