While I would tend to absolutely agree with you based on my seeing her play many times in college, the fact is she is now in a new league trying to "earn her stripes" and with her new teammate association, she maybe trying to garner their respect.

That said, it is my ABSOLUTE belief the WNBA players feel slighted by the media attention Clark has brought and in general, they treat all rookies shabbily (including Paige). The problem is Clark also whines (as she did in college) and that hurts her credibility. The WNBA officiating also not as high a quality as it needs to be adding the insult to injury. Also add in a rather poorly managed product with the league leadership not really grasping the optics or behavior that needs to be exhibited by the players, the officials, the coaches or its own leadership and you get what we are seeing here.

This is not a new league, this is supposed to already be a "seasoned product" yet here we are with a mess.

The lack of honest accountability by the league is going to hurt the product.
