If you are a female who loves basketball, Diana Taurasi or Breanna Steer have probably been your top picks. But is there anyone else on the list? Courtney Vandersloot & Elena Delle Donne, what do you think? Although you will have to make your decision about these players, I have put together a short list that includes the top 10 women's NBA players.
Diana Taurasi
Diana Taurasi is the best WNBA Basketball player. You might want to check her resume. This All-Star has accumulated a impressive list of trophies that includes the MVP and scoring titles. Diana has won three championships, two Finals MVP award awards and 14 All WNBA selections. It makes her one the most talented players in the league.
Breanna Stewart
The Seattle Storm are in the Finals for the second straight year, and Breanna Stewart is one of the best players in the WNBA today. She was a two-time Finals MVP and was widely regarded as the best player in the league by the time she recovered from an Achilles injury. She was named the Finals MVP and league MVP for this year. In 2018, she was even considered the best player worldwide after winning the NBA's inaugural WNBA championship.
Courtney Vandersloot
Vandersloot made it possible for the Seattle Sky to return to the playoffs by 2021. She had been out of the league for four years after the departure Elena Delle Donne. She averaged 8.6 points per game in the 2015 season, and led the league for that category. In 2014, and 2015, she was league leader in assists per team and the first WNBA female player to average over nine assists a game. She was also the league's best player in terms of points per game. Vandersloot averaged 10.2 assists per match in the postseason.
Elena Delle Donne
Many women will argue about Elena Delle Donne's ability to play WLBA well, but the evidence shows that she is. The Washington season was an incredible one for the ex-Duke player. Not only was she the first WNBA basketball player to shoot above 50% from the field but she also shot well over 40% from the 3-point line. Her shooting percentage was so high that she won two MVPs with different teams. Her play helped the Mystics finish first in the league and top of the playoffs. Her performance earned her 12 votes.
Allie Quigley
Allie Quigley, a woman's basketball player, is one of the best in the league. Her mental toughness and intelligence make her an invaluable player. In the playoffs she made the game-winning basket as a Chicago Sky teammate. Quigley dribbled toward the basket and was soon surrounded two defenders. She used the momentum against her to quickly pull up for an intermediate jumper. She sank the shot by pulling up and firing elbow to elbow.
Tamika Catchings
Tamika Catchings' career has seen her accumulate a remarkable number of stats that rank her among the top players in the WNBA. She holds the record for steals with 7,380 and is third in career points. She has won the WNBA Player Award and three other league awards. Catchings, one of the most prominent players in the WNBA is set to be inducted into Women's Basketball Hall of Fame for 2021.
Tina Charles
Tina Charles, the No. Tina was the overall No.1 pick in the WNBA Draft. She was the Connecticut Sun's Rookie-of-the Year, and she played in her adopted hometown. During her rookie year, she set league records for doubles-doubles and rebounding. After her breakout season, Charles was named the WNBA MVP and won her first of two gold medals at the Olympics.
