I don’t think this means she is better than Maravich, but she scored more points against her relative competition.
No reason to bring in Pistol Pete into the conversation. Just my two cents.
“I don’t think this means she is better than Maravich...”
Starting in the NBA in the late 50’s, the roles of players were created and the people on the floor were played for their roles. That reached college competitions about ten years later.
I don’t think anyone is better than anyone else...just different. Maravich was a tremendous ball handler and good shooter. He was a fair assist player about the same as Clark. I don’t know if she was a shooting guard or a point guard but she, at six feet even, was a good rebounder averaging around seven a game. Her playing weight of around one fifty five, a wide body, might help her there. But rebounders at the next level are numerous. Her game may have to change.
But her test is yet to come if she enters the WNBA where the game is faster and plays bigger. An example of a great normal height player in college that went to the NBA and ended up a good journeyman player there was Calvin Murphy from Niagra. Great in college, incredible scorer, but his height was a problem for the team as they had to help him a lot with offside support or double team on defense.
Numbers are great. But the after college game is different. I wish her luck if she goes that way. But that six foot height may be a problem at that next level.
