WNBA: Best Players Across the Board in 2025

The WNBA’s heating up, records falling, rookies shining, and yeah, Caitlin Clark grabbing all the headlines with that All-Star captaincy. But while the spotlight’s loud, there are four players quietly wrecking the stat sheets, ranking top 5 across the board. Let’s talk about the real takeover happening right now

4 WNBA Players Across The Board

1. A’ja Wilson Is Still That Player

A’ja Wilson is proving once again why she’s the gold standard in the WNBA. In a tight 84-81 win over the Mercury, she dropped a dominant 26 points and grabbed 18 boards. She’s now top five in scoring, rebounding, and blocks, with her elite consistency keeping the Las Vegas Aces firmly in title contention. Even Cooper Flagg, the NBA’s No. 1 draft pick, recently called her his favorite WNBA player—and it’s not hard to see why.

2. Angel Reese

Angel Reese just made WNBA history—again. With her 24-point, 16-rebound effort in Chicago’s win over the Sparks, she became the first player ever to notch four straight games with 15+ rebounds. She leads the league in boards and is among the top five in double-doubles. “She’s doing it all,” said head coach Tyler Marsh. Reese isn’t just thriving as a rookie, she’s redefining what front-court dominance looks like.

3. Napheesa Collier

The Minnesota Lynx star is having the best season of her career. Napheesa Collier is averaging 24.5 points per game, ranking top five in scoring, while also contributing heavily in steals, rebounds, and blocks. Fresh off her fifth All-Star nod, she silenced any concerns about a recent back issue by posting 26 points in her return. With the Lynx surging and the Commissioner’s Cup title within reach, Collier is firmly in the MVP conversation.

4. Paige Bueckers

The No. 1 overall pick is already living up to the hype. Paige Bueckers is averaging 18.4 points per game and has dropped 20+ points in four of her last five outings. She ranks top five in efficiency among rookies and guards. Despite her rapid rise, Bueckers is still showing respect to those who paved the way, saying, “A’ja and Napheesa are running the league right now.”

Whether it’s veterans continuing their legacy or rookies setting new standards, these four women are proving why they belong at the top of the league in 2025.
