South Carolina Basketball: Aja Wilson sets WNBA record

Related Topics: A'ja Wilson, WNBA, Lisa Leslie

South Carolina basketball legend Aja Wilson is one of the best to ever play in the WNBA. Already a two-time league MVP, she could be on her way to a third award (she won previously in 2020 and 2022). She is a clear top-two player in “The W” along with Breanna Stewart, and the former Gamecock demonstrated why with a dominant performance on Saturday.

The record for the best-ever field goal percentage for a player taking at least 17 shots is owned by two players. All-time great Lisa Leslie is the first, and Aja Wilson is now the second.
