WNBA Players Rank Caitlin Clark 11th Amidst Voting Controversy
3 Jul
Summary
- Fans ranked Clark second, media third, players 11th.
- Player votes for Clark plummeted from ninth to eleventh.
- Clark leads WNBA in assists and is among top scorers.
Caitlin Clark's standing within the WNBA has become a focal point following the recent All-Star voting breakdown. While fan balloting positioned her as the second-best guard and media outlets ranked her third, a stark contrast emerged from her peers.
WNBA players astonishingly voted Clark as the league's 11th-best guard, a surprising decline from the ninth-place ranking she received last year. This player vote count represents 25% of the total ballot, with fans contributing 50% and media holding the remaining 25%.
Clark's on-court performance undermines this low ranking, as she currently leads the WNBA with 8.2 assists per game and is tied for fourth in scoring with 21.2 points per game. These statistics highlight her significant contributions as a guard.
The perceived discrepancy has fueled discussions about potential jealousy or disrespect within the league, particularly given Clark's impact on the WNBA's popularity and revenue. Many observers find her ranking unbelievable, questioning the validity of the player votes.
