This season, the rookies are elevating the WNBA standard with each game they play. Their rise has undoubtedly given the court a fresh vitality that keeps the seasoned players on their toes as spectators continue to turn out in large numbers. Likewise, this applies to Cameron Brink. Since her time in the NCAA, the Stanford graduate has been a formidable defensive player, and she is carrying over that skill in the WNBA. She had a career-high stat line last night and has already surpassed fellow rookies Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese in one area.

In front of over 10,000 fans, the Sparks lost 83-84 to the Dallas Wings in today’s close game at Crypto.com Arena. But freshman Cameron Brink of the Sparks scored a career-high 21 points and added three blocks. With 3.2 blocks per game, she is now the WNBA’s leader and might create history if she can keep up that pace. The 22-year-old is expected to top the league in blocks and become the youngest player in league history.

In addition to her outstanding defensive play, Brink leads the team in scoring with 10.8, rebounds, and assists with 2.4 per game. Brink stood out in the game against Dallas, contributing two rebounds, three assists, and three strong blocks.

When she blocked a Seattle Storm player’s layup in the first minute of the game during the preseason, it was clear that she was a dominant player. This merely reveals how attentive Brink is to her surroundings, how to interpret her opponent’s next move, and how to set up her “Brink Wall.”

Fans are now very excited for Wednesday’s game between the LA Sparks and Caitlin Clark and company, as both sides are in dire need of a victory. This is due to Brink’s outstanding performance today.

For the second time this season, Cameron Brink and Caitlin Clark will square off in the upcoming game. Furthermore, Brink’s performance tonight underscores how far she has come in elevating her game and fortifying her shot-blocking abilities. The painted queen is surpassing expectations and achieving an astounding 43% of 3s.

However, Clark is also beginning to display glimmers of her brilliance. The all-time top scorer in NCAA history is well-known for her ability to shoot and create plays on the floor. She’s one of the hardest players to cover. Clark leads rookies in both scoring and assists per game, averaging 15.4 points and 6.3 assists per contest right now. At 5.4 per game, she is third among rookies in rebounds.
