Diana Taurasi received a lot of flak for daring to suggest Caitlin Clark would have to go through a transition period in the WNBA. She also wasn't wrong.

Two games into Clark's career, the former Iowa star is looking like ... a 22-year-old playing against fully grown professionals only a month and a half after wrapping up the college season. The Indiana Fever are 0-2, with neither game being particularly close, while Clark is shooting 30.4% from the field with 13 turnovers.

As Taurasi said last month, Clark's in a position where she's going to have give herself some grace as a rookie facing unprecedented expectations.
