The WNBA was created in 1997.
The case against Clark is that she is shooting poorly (37.3% overall, 32.7% from 3) and has been a turnover machine (leads the league with 67 turnovers).
Meanwhile, Taurasi was third in MVP voting her rookie year, Parker was the MVP her rookie year, and Brianna Stewart was second in DPOY voting.
The only claim you can make for Clark is based on popularity. But if you put her in, given her stats, she would get frozen out by the other players, and for good reason. I do not think it would be a particularly enjoyable experience for her.
