The 5-foot, 10-inches tall guard is coming off a season where he averaged 10 points and a little more than four assists. But his veteran leadership goes far beyond any stat sheet or box score. Clark is the only remaining player on the roster that was part of the Cavaliersโ 2019 National Championship season.
Clark earned All-ACC Honorable Mention honors for the 2021-2022 season, when he guided Virginia to an NIT appearance.
