I searched, and until I see anything to the contrary, I'm standing pat lol.
That one's kinda dumb. A huge number of WNBA players accumulated less than 10 assists in their career. Think of all the Dyaisha Fairs and Maddy Siegrists.
I disagree. Thinking of all the dyaisha fairs underscores how tight the funnel is, and how impressive the feat is.
I understand where you are coming from. But that stat taken in a vacuum is misleading. I would bet that Kate Martin has more assists in her rookie year than 25% of all wnba players in their career.
Just because most wnba players have a far more abbreviated career.
You would be wrong. Kate Martin has 30 career assists, putting her 589 of 706 players, which is in about the bottom 16% not the top 25%.*
*Edited to note I meant to write bottom 25%, but the point still stands.

You read it wrong. I was saying she was better than 25 percent, putting her at the 26th percentile. I'm fine with the number you cited being illustrative of my point.You would be wrong.

Well duh. But lets not lose the forest for the trees here. A benchwarmer who has only played one season has more assists than 1/6 of the players who ever set foot on a WNBA court. That's even crazier than the CC stat.
Well here is some info can make both Wondergrape and Tenacious E happy. Clark broke the single season assist #, in her rookie season, by a margin of 20.
Clark averaged 8.4 assists per game. I looked at the all-time top 10 assist leaders and only 1 (Vandersloot) ever had seasons averaging more than 8. Vandersloot has been pretty amazing actually. She had a 5-yr stretch where she averaged 8.8 assists per game.

It will be interesting to see 2025 stats for everyone. I think her assists will spike and be 12+ per game, and her points will stay about the same. I think she will take less shots but shoot at a higher percentage. I think Boston’s points take a hit, but her assists should go up. I think Mitchell stays the same, and Howard and Bonner average 13-15, and Cunningham 7-10.
There are only 3 players between her and the magical 25% that played less games than Martin and 6 who got above her in less minutes.
Caitlin's long range bombs set up the rest of her game - particularly her assists. If she took only reasonable shots, the opponents defense could suck in and her teammates would find it difficult to operate in the congestion. If White tries to reign CC in, she will have no better luck than Sides.
