Caitlin Clark assists stats

Clark's 8.5 assists per game give her the fifth-highest single-season average in league history. Vandersloot owns each of the four highest single-season assists averages in league history.

Vandersloot ranks second on the all-time assists list behind Sue Bird, who dished out 3,234 assists over 19 seasons. To break Bird's mark, Clark would need to dish out assists at this rate for at least 10 seasons while missing minimal games.

As a rookie, Clark set the WNBA's single-game assists record by dishing out 19 dimes against the Dallas Wings on July 17.
