Chennedy Carter has recently voiced strong discontent with ESPN’s ranking of her at the bottom of their WNBA Top 25 list.
The outspoken guard, known for her dynamic scoring ability and impactful performances, is challenging her low placement, arguing that her contributions and potential are undervalued.
Carter’s demand for a re-ranking highlights the ongoing debate over player evaluations and the criteria used to determine such rankings, underscoring her belief that she deserves a higher spot among the league’s elite. Her call for reassessment not only reflects her confidence but also her commitment to being recognized for her true impact on the court.

Each year, the WNBA’s Top 25 Players list garners widespread attention and often sparks debate among fans and analysts alike. This year’s list, however, has become the center of controversy due to Chennedy Carter’s unexpected placement at the very bottom. Known for her dynamic play and promising career, Carter’s low ranking has been a subject of considerable discussion.

In a series of outspoken comments, Chennedy Carter has expressed her disbelief and anger over the rankings. Carter has publicly accused Caitlin Clark, a prominent and rising star in the league, of having undue influence over the rankings. According to Carter, Clark’s popularity and the fervor of her fanbase led to an unfair ranking process, resulting in what Carter describes as a biased assessment that overlooked her contributions and performance.
“We all know the league favored someone who we all know” Carter said in a recent statement. “It’s clear that that girl and her fans manipulated the rankings to push her up and push me down. It’s disheartening to see how popularity and fan influence can overshadow actual performance.”
