Caitlin Clark the 9th-Best Guard in WNBA? That's What Her Peers Think in All-Star Player Vote
- Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever guard, leads as a 2025 WNBA All-Star Game starter and team captain for the July 19 event at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
- Despite earning a record 1,293,526 fan votes, Clark ranked ninth among guards in player voting due to injuries and recent performance struggles.
- This season, Clark has contributed an average of 18.2 points, nearly nine assists, and five rebounds per game, but missing seven contests due to quad and groin injuries has affected how her peers view her performance.
- Basketball analyst Dick Vitale called player voting of Clark ninth-best guard “pure jealousy,” while Clark’s weighted score—combining fan, player, and media votes—placed her second overall.
- Clark’s selection as All-Star captain and record fan support underline her major role in the WNBA's growing popularity despite voting disparities among players.
