Clark has also produced plenty of highlight plays in the competition, including an incredible assist to Angel Reese in their debut game. The Fever guard’s shooting prowess has been on full display as well, with her deep triple against Italy even getting the slow-motion treatment.

In the fourth quarter of Team USA’s game against Italy over the weekend, Clark displayed her ball-handling skills as she executed a crossover while being heavily guarded. She then proceeded to do a spin move to create some separation from her defended before quickly delivering a fadeaway shot.
“Caitlin Clark shake & bake is the content I need, the content I want,” FIBA wrote in the caption of the post, along with the clip.
Clark’s play had a lot of fans buzzing, especially after seeing the slo-mo video.
