There is a sabermetric list, only for players in NCAA women’s basketball since the 2001-2002 season, that measures Career Win Shares, and like the other sports we have written about here—specifically men’s college basketball and men’s professional basketball—it is the best measurement for overall “quality” of a player’s contributions to team success. Looking at this list for women’s college hoops, there is a clear GOAT.

And it’s not Caitlin Clark, who currently sits 17th on the all-time Win Shares list—which only goes back to 2001, and therefore doesn’t include the amazing players who competed before that time. So, if Clark is just 17th on the list for the past 22-plus years, you know she’s probably way outside the Top 40 all time for the entirety of women’s college basketball going back to the AIAW competitions held in the early 1970s. Fact.

[That’s the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women for those of you who don’t remember, as the NCAA didn’t really start working with women’s basketball until the late 1970s—and even then didn’t begin holding an NCAA Tournament championship for women until 1982. There was actual overlap between the AIAW and the women’s NCAA oversight, too, in a clusterfuck of a power grab we don’t need to discuss here.]

But we digress: all the noise about Clark continues to just be hyperbole designed for clickbait and web-ad revenue (or TV ads, as it were, ESPN). Clark has some games left to play, of course, but she probably won’t get any higher than 12th on the all-time list (since 2001). That’s just sabermetric fact, despite the silly claims out there now that she’s the “best ever” or whatever. Yeah, she scores a lot of points, but we’ve shredded that.

Win Shares evaluates offense and defense, of course: so where does Clark sit on the all-time Offensive Win Shares list for her sport since 2001? Only fourth, currently, although she could end up second all-time since 2001. But she won’t catch the top dog on this list, ever: Delaware star Elena Delle Donne (2009-2013) is untouchable to Clark (34.43) on this list with 39.19 OWS. So, Clark isn’t even No. 1 offensively since 2001.

In the end, the point of this column is that Clark will not finish her career much higher than 12th all-time since 2001 in terms of sabermetric Win Shares. Toss in the all the pre-2001 players, and she’d fall so far down the list, it’s not even funny. Does it matter who the best post-2001 women’s college basketball player is? Connecticut’s Maya Moore—and she is miles ahead of many other famous players previously hyped up.

Just study some facts on your own and ignore the mediots; in the end, they are throwing clickbait at you.
