21 Jul
Summary
- Only two WNBA players have achieved the 50-40-90 shooting benchmark.
- Three players are currently close to joining the exclusive club.
- The 50-40-90 club requires elite field goal, 3-point, and free throw percentages.
The WNBA season is delivering sensational individual performances, with players achieving remarkable scoring feats. However, the coveted 50-40-90 shooting standard remains just out of reach for most.
This exclusive club signifies elite shooting efficiency: 50% from the field, 40% from three-point range, and 90% from the free-throw line. Historically, only Napheesa Collier and Elena Delle Donne have accomplished this.
Currently, Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever is showing promise, shooting 48.4% from the field, 43.7% from deep, and 88.4% from the line. Paige Bueckers of the Dallas Wings is also a contender, with 51.8% field goal, 38.5% three-point, and 87.2% free throw percentages.
Kelsey Mitchell, also with the Indiana Fever, is having a career year, averaging 49.5% shooting, 42.3% from three, and 85.2% from the line. With half the season remaining, these players are poised to make history.
