With just one season under his belt, Wembanyama has emerged as a formidable force for the Spurs, while Clark’s performance in her first preseason game with the Fever has left fans clamoring for more.

Impressive stats

Although it’s still early days, the potential for greatness in both players is unmistakable. Wembanyama’s debut saw him tally an impressive 20 points and four assists, while Clark made her mark with 21 points and two assists. These numbers, while remarkable, only scratch the surface of their immense capabilities.

“You couldn’t ask for a better game, really, for women’s basketball to kick off this [WNBA] year,” Clark said after her preseason debut against the Dallas Wings.

“A tremendous game coming down to the wire, both teams competing. That’s going to be the story of the entire year.”

What sets Wembanyama and Clark apart is not just their raw talent, but also their hunger to learn and improve. Despite their meteoric rise to stardom, both players remain humble and committed to honing their craft.
