so we have a member of the WNBA media who is claiming that Chelsea great is the best point guard in the WNBA but is that based on statistics or is this a member of the WNBA media stanning 19. 2 points 8. 4 assists 5.
7 rebounds these are Caitlyn Clark's rookie numbers that Natalie Esquire conveniently ignored when she called Chelsea Gray the best point guard in the WNBA numbers don't lie but apparently some reporters do the most shocking part Chelsea Gray has never matched these stats in her entire career not once yet here we are watching so-called WNBA reporters push narratives that completely contradict reality who I'm talking about it is none other than Natalie Esquire which might not surprise some of you it sure as heck does not surprise me but I got to say an unbiased WNBA Legacy reporter is not as common as you might think let's expose this media bias with cold hard f can you believe we're even having this debate I mean seriously let's put these ridiculous claims to the test and look at what Natalie Esquire conveniently ignored when crowning Chelsea Gray as the wnba's best point guard because when we break down the actual numbers this soall hot take turns ice cold real quick according to this post that she put up on social media Natalie Esquire says Chelsea great is the best point guard in the WNBA that hasn't changed because she has a down year returning from injury the disrespect on her name was ridiculous let's start with Caitlyn Clark's rookie season we're talking about a firste player putting up 19. 2 points 8. 4 assists and 5.
7 rebounds per game those aren't just good numbers they're historically impressive for a rookie but wait it gets better when we compare these stats to Chelsea Gray's entire career not just one cherry pick season something shocking emerges oh let's get into the steps first we'll pull up the best point guard in the WM objectively Caitlyn Clark in her one professional season in the WNBA Caitlyn Clark came away with an average of 19. 2 points 8. 4 assists and 5.
7 rebounds for the season now let's check out Chelsea Grace stats and this is when the Las Vegas Aces had won the championship she did average 15. 3 points a game not bad right she averaged four rebounds and 7. 3 assists in her absolute best scoring season ever Chelsea Gray averaged 15 .
3 points per game that's her career Peak and it's still nearly four full points lower than what Clark dropped in her very first professional season maybe gray makes up for it with playmaking nope her best assist season topped out at 7. 3 dimes per game again well below Clark's rookie average of 8. 4 and that's good but it still is not better than Caitlyn Clark's average is let's just check those out again 19.
2 points 5. 7 rebounds and 8. 4 assists okay so how how about the year before Chelsea great averaged 13.
7 points she averaged 3. 2 rebounds and 6. 1 assists still does not beat what Caitlyn Clark had in either stat but surely a veteran Champion like gray dominates the boards compared to a rookie guard right wrong again Gray's best rebounding season in her entire WNBA career was just four rebounds per game Clark's pulling down 5.
