Clark and Bueckers go a long wayback. They were teammates in Team USA’s junior teams, winning agold medal at the FIBA U19 World Championships. Bueckers was theno.1 overall recruit by ESPN rankings out of high school whileClark ranked 4th.

This will be the final timethese two generational prospects will face each other as Clark –the projected no.1 overall pick in 2024 – has announced she willjoin this year’s draft while Bueckers – 2025’s projected no.1overall pick – has said she will return for a fifth and finalseason at UConn.
