Summary
Caitlin Clark topped The Ringer’s ranking of the WNBA’s 25 best players under 25, ahead of Paige Bueckers at No. 2 and Aliyah Boston at No. 3.
The list is framed as a present-day production snapshot rather than a draft of future potential, using 2026 performance and current impact to sort the league’s young core.
Clark led the group with 20.1 points and 8.1 assists despite a shooting slump and Indiana’s 4-4 start, while Bueckers posted 18.3 points on 49/42/78 shooting and Boston added 15.9 points with a 25.4 PER.
The ranking also highlighted the WNBA’s growing international pipeline, with more than a quarter of the 25 players coming from overseas and France alone heavily represented.
Beyond the headline names, The Ringer cast the list as evidence of a youth-driven league, citing ready-made rookies, productive late-round picks and deeper player development across the WNBA.
