The star of Indiana Fever Caitlin Clark is captain for the WNBA 2025 stars match, which will take place in Indianpolis next month. She won this honor by receiving a record of 1,293,536 fans votes, the largest number of players – not only this year, but in a single year in the history of the WNBA.

While Clark finished first in the vote of the fans and third in the vote of the media, she was an amazing ninth of the playing of the players. In fact, Clark was not even the best classified fever among the players’ vote. It was Kelsey Mitchell. As a result, Clark did not have the most weighted score among the guards. This honor went to the overall choice n ° 1 of Paige Bueckers, 3.25 of which ahead of Clark’s 3.5.

Note: The number of fans of fans received served as a break in equality. Gras players were named governs.

It really doesn’t matter where Clark finished in the media and the players’ votes. She was always going to receive the most fans votes and win her place in the star match as a captain. However, the complete distribution of the vote is always fascinating to see, and how it was considered by the other players standing out (just like the Cloud finishing fourth and plum finishing 16th).

To be fair to the players, Clark did not have the best start to the season. First and foremost, she missed seven of the 16 fever games. And although it has an average of 18.2 points, five rebounds and 8.9 assists, it also draws 29.5% on a fork of 3 points and leading the League in turnover with 5.9 per match. It is quite reasonable to say that Clark has not obtained a starting place this year.

At the same time, Clark finishing the ninth in the player’s vote is hard. While she sometimes had trouble, she also had some of the best individual performances of all players this season, including a triple-double the day of opening and an effort of 32 points, eight reimburses and nine years in her return from her first injury. The fever has also been much better when it is on the ground, and the opposite defenses certainly do not hover for it as if it were the ninth best guard in the league.
