Perhaps a better comparison would be Kelsey Plum and Washington, who had Osahor, and beat us in the elite 8 in 2016.  Plum was as important to Washington as Clark is to Iowa.  She averaged 32 points her senior year and, like Clark, was a three level scorer, shooting 38% from three. 

Clark is averaging 27 points and shooting 39% from three. 

Now, if you ask me to explain why Clark is better than Plum, I'm not sure I can, although that is my eye test.  Maybe because Washington did not get as far as Iowa.  If Iowa and Clark win a natty, that might be enough to tip the balance.

My impression is that Plum may have been a bit better inside the circle but that Clark's range and ability to generate her own 3 point shots are better. She is not surrounded by top tier NCAA players (although the other Hawkeyes are competent and disciplined). It will be interesting to see how well she can play with stronger teammates. Curry-like does come to mind.
