Maybe she can become the first 2000 pt/1000 assist player who wasn't coached by Kelly Graves. Also maybe she can join Ionescu in the 2000/1000/1000 club. Although the shortened seasons are really working against her as far as that goes.
If she keeps averaging 7-8 for both assists/rebounds, she should hit 1000 pretty easily with full seasons. At the rate she's going she should be the first ever 3000/1000/1000 players.

It’ll be the same thing with the Kelsey Plum record though. Unfortunately because of COVID, she won’t play enough games. As of right now, CC needs 1,594 pts - 607 assists - 642 rebounds to get to 3k, 1k, 1k

If she has normal seasons in 2023/2024, she should hit points numbers relatively easily and still has a realistic shot at assists/rebounds:

Right now she has 1406 points, 358 rebounds, and 393 assists.

If we conservatively assume she plays in 8 more games this season (assuming postponed games don't get reschedule there are 4 regular season games left, 2 Big Ten tournament games, and 2 NCAA tournament games), and let's assume she keeps up her season averages this year, she'll finish the year with approximately:
1627 points, 424 rebounds, and 458 assists.

To hit 3k/1k/1k, she'll need to obtain 1373 points, 576 rebounds, and 542 assists over her last 2 seasons.

If she plays in a normal season uninterrupted by covid/injuries the next 2 years, she'll likely play in at least 35 games each season. If she plays in 70 games her last 2 years, she'll need to average:

19.6 points per game, 8.23 rebounds, 7.74 assists

Points should be easy to hit for Clark given she's averaged 26-28ppg her first 2 seasons. Assists are about in line with her career average of 7.55 assists per game. Rebounds will be a close call. She's averaging 8.2 this season, but only averaged 5.9 as a freshman. If she keeps up her averages from this season over the next 2, she'll be right around 1000 rebounds.

I think it'll be hard to keep up those numbers over her entire career (8+ assists/rebounds per game) but we'll see what happens. She's on an unprecedented pace and is getting better and better as the season goes on.
