Bueckers is the front runner for ROY, make it back to back #1 picks to win it.  She's so much fun to watch.  But it's also interesting how different of a player she is to Clark.  Clark gets a lot of Curry comps, but other than the excessive foul baiting, Bueckers reminds me a lot of Jalen Brunson's game with her turn arounds, short angled jumpers, and propensity to get to her spots on the floor to score it.

Two outstanding players, for very different reasons.

To me, Clark's best skill is her passing. She is gifted - sees plays develop better than any other player in the league.

Bueckers is just solid at everything. A willing defender, too.

To be fair, it was her brother in a silly heat of the moment tweet upset about his sister, that he then deleted.

And while its silly on the face, its probably not totally without merit.  If you think the refs have allowed opposing teams to overly physical and rough with Clark, which is debatable but not unreasonable depending on perspective, it can add up to a bunch of wear and tear and little injuries that can all of a sudden manifest into a bigger injury, even in a non-contact scenario.
