Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever's record-breaking rookie, is not among ESPN's top 20 players.
How Many Players on the Two-Time Defending Champions?
The Chicago Sky, two-time defending WNBA champions, have three players ranked in ESPN's top 25:

Diana Taurasi's Legacy
While Diana Taurasi, the WNBA's all-time leading scorer, is not currently ranked among the top 25 players, she remains one of the league's most respected and accomplished players.
Tamika Catchings, a four-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, believes Taurasi is the best offensive player in WNBA history but Catchings is the most complete basketball player she has ever seen.
