The Indiana Fever guard became the first rookie
to make the team since Candace Parker did it in 2008. She's the
fifth rookie ever to have that honor, joining Sue Bird, Tamika
Catchings and Diana Taurasi.
Las Vegas Aces forward A'ja Wilson and Minnesota's Napheesa
Collier were unanimous first-team selections. Breanna Stewart of
New York and Alyssa Thomas of Connecticut rounded out the
positionless five-person team.
Wilson, the league's unanimous choice as MVP, earned a spot on
the first team for the third consecutive season and fourth time
overall. Collier, a three-time All-WNBA team selection, was
voted to the first team for the second straight year.
Clark earned 52 first-team votes and was on 66 of the 67 ballots
that were submitted by a national media panel. She averaged a
league-high 8.4 assists per game in addition to 19.2 points, 5.7
rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. She made 122 3-pointers to
lead the league and helped the Fever make the playoffs for the
first time since 2016.
New York had three of the 10 players on the two teams with
Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones earning second-team honors.
They were joined by Phoenix's Kahleah Copper, Seattle's Nneka
Ogwumike and Dallas' Arike Ogunbowale.
