#1 Bueckers most complete skilled overall player (if she can stay injury free) #2 Wilson elite both sides of the ball #3 Watson skilled both sides of the ball #4 - Stewart - elite skills but aging #5 - #10 Clark good shooter , good passing, weak handling, very weak defender (#5 if she improves handling and defense skills)

Nope.. Boston is a shooter once the coach decided to have Boston outside on offense then Aja guarding Boston outside the paint would be useless. Clark can play off the ball, if you haven't notice her motor is Steph Curry-like. Even how elite Aja is on defense if Boston will bring her outside, then night night. Also, this is a team game.

I believe that Caitlyn Clark and Paige Buechers are the W's version of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Juju is the Michael Jordan type player. If healthy, that trio will be top 5 every year for the next decade. How each of their teams develop will determine the ultimate rankings. If the old WNBA players (old in age and mentality) can move on or adapt, I believe that the new players coming in, bringing their fan base, these next few seasons, I can envision the league being the female version of the NBA 1980's and 90's. Arguably the Golden Age of Professional Basketball. If not, then the league will be like the 1970's NBA where fans found it difficult to relate and root for the players. In watching this year's draft, I believe that the W's Commissioner sees this and purposely changed the appearance and focus to what will please a new fan base going forward.

Love the list. Appreciate the work and thought put into this. For me, I would want to see Shakira Austin a little higher. Im really high on her and I think of her in a similar way to Satou. Their skills at their size, they're both so unique and im looking forward to the growth and watching them both.

She's so much of a wildcard because of injury. She would've probably between in the 20-25 rank for me if it wasn't for this last injury. We've seen players overcome two torn ACLs (i.e. Brittney Sykes), but we've also seen Shea Ralph -- another UConn alum -- who was also thought to be a lottery-level talent, but couldn't play professionally after two torn ACLs and various other injuries. It's tough to tell at the moment, but I'm a big Azzi fan. Hope she bounces back!

😮 Wow man, u r bold going out onna limb w/ a 25+ person projection 5yrs out. It's safe 2 say ur #2 won't b nearly as bad as the guy who had Wiggins @2 😅😂 Glad 2 see 2 Sky players on ur HM list. I think Fulwiley & Malonga could make many WNBA highlight plays down the road 🤩🏀 I feel Shakira could be top 5 or 10 honestly & Edwards as high as top 15. We see eye-2-eye on Collier (who is gr8 although she's probably a #2 on a title team), Satou (who has every ability except durability), & A'ja (she's top 10 all-time rn & might be in the 🐐 convo by '29 or @ least on the WNBA's Mt. Rushmore).

​@@HunterCruse14 u don't think angel will be top 10? She currently has a lot of Candace in her game. If she gets that jumper together don't u think she and a'ja will be fighting #1? Clark will probably be the most popular but her defense is atrocious. Her ball handling is lacking and she struggles tremendously against tight man to man defense especially playing elite defensive teams like Connecticut who will give u a problem when they switch. She relies on ball screens in order to cook. That might be a problem against about half the wnba. She's still gonna be top 10 but not top 5.

JuJu watkins has to be high on this list.... She could be better than Clark. Juju and paige already are better on defense than Clark: Clark: 1.5 steals per game Paige: 2.2 per game Juju: 2.5 steals per game I hope you all realize basketball is a lot more than scoring and offense: Part of offense is rebounding. Caitlin is only 6 ft tall. That's a big reason why she s never won a national title : this year in the nattyt a 5 ft 7 guard held down clark to 7 pts the entire game after she started guarding her. I don't think after 3 or 4 years of college experience Juju will be held in check that easily. Or by that meh/ mediocre of a player.
@k3anelovesgam1ng86
@k3anelovesgam1ng86 Месяц назад
So whoever steals more win the game?😂 your analysis is crazy.. wtf are you talking about Caitlin is just 6 ft tall.. how does that impact losing? So Steph would just stay at home and eat popcorn just because he's just 6'2" and Lebron is 6'9"? wtf you mean Juju will be held in check that easily. Her and Clark will dominate the W soon. My goodness child! keep up, other kids are smarter than you.

@alegna_ennazus Месяц назад
funny you didnt mention assists and scoring. I wonder whose leading in those two areas in the ncaa for 3 fucking years. CAITLIN CLARK and in case your ignorant mind cannot process CC career high on rebs in 17. Clearly you are a worshipper of PB and Juju and dont know anything about CC.
@MrLarryLessor
@MrLarryLessor Месяц назад
That’s not the point. The point is there are many factors to winning games - not just how many fans you excite & how highlight reel your 3 pointers are: 1. Yes defense is very important. So is rebounding and blocked shots. Breanna Stewart has all those things. Clark does not give you that many steal, rebounds, blocks .. Stewart does ANd she still hits 3s and can score over bigger defenders too The only question is age. Clark does not have the speed of Kelsey plum. She certainly will never have the size ang ability in the paint of Stewart And Aja Wilson z Therefore even if you wanna project 5 years from now, I think it’s highly speculative and questionable to put Clark at #1. Stewie or Aja are better candidates Goes to show how much many of you have bought into Clark mania hype
@HunterCruse14
@HunterCruse14 Месяц назад
Yeah, JuJu could be a Top 3 player in the world, but also, she won’t even be 24 in 2029, which is typically 2-3 years away from the start of a player’s peak
@MrLarryLessor
@MrLarryLessor Месяц назад
@@alegna_ennazus She did that in college... We'll see if she's doing that in the pros with grown women guarding her... She can get there and she can do it - but it should be obvious that it won't be that easy. It's gonna take time - and she might now have that many 40 pt games like she did in college. Imagine Reggie bush: When he got to the pros, he had some great plays, but he wasn't running all over teams like he did at USC. The fact that you are throwing f-bombs shows how frustrated you are - like you want it so badly ... Just watch objectively - but you can't do that bc you are blinded by your desires and your ambition (delusions of grandeur.... She's leading in scoring? Once she gets into the torunament against really good tdefenders its' a different story: Clark exploded for 18 in teh 1st Quarter in the natty this year... then what happened? A 5 ft 7 girl held her to 7 pts the whole rest of the way. 2 years ago what happened? She lost in the 2nd round. in the semifnals what happend? A giirl (Nike Muhl) who couldn't really defend or stop Kelsey Plum from getting all the way to the cup - held clakr down to 3 pts thet entire first half... and this was just 3 or 4 weeks ago. In the Pros, Clark will be facing a lot better defenders than raven johnson and Nike Muhl Be realistic. I like her - she's a really good player. But many of you are not seeing truth. You are just hoping beyond hope .... and it exposes some of the racism in a lot of you.
