I don't follow the women's game all that much, but it's hard to justify who is or isn't better based on the talent around you. One could easily make the opposite claim and say if Paige was inserted into the Iowa lineup and took as many shot attempts as Clark, she could have done as well or even better. Paige does have a much better career FG% and 3 pt. % vs. Clark. Is that talent, a product of the system, or both?
Watched both for most of their careers.
Having more talent around you means you're not the focal point on every offensive possession.
And that can easily be argued that you are not guarded as closely and will have more open looks.
I doubt PB is guarded full court once she turns pro.
CC is/was.
