In a recent article on MVP candidates, Nekias Duncan included some interesting stats on the AB/CC connection. A few takeaways:

• The Fever's Offensive rating, Defensive rating, and true shooting % are better with Clark OR Boston on the floor than when both are on or both off.
• They also force more turnovers under the same conditions.
• Fever turnovers per possession are lower (-3.26 per 100) with Clark on the floor than when she sits.

I know a lot of fans feel the pick and roll hasn't been fully unleashed yet, but when their minutes are staggered, the team has been better in a variety of areas.

Also gives some support to the idea that Clark "absorbs" team turnovers because of her high usage and that turnovers would happen with or without her on the court. For reference, Team TO per 100 possessions were .67 lower with Clark off last year.
