Quantifying what makes Charlisse Leger-Walker so good

The Washington State women’s basketball team is off to a hot start in the 2020-2021 season, winning six of its first seven games with the only loss coming narrowly at the hands of a top-10 Oregon Ducks squad. This early success comes as a bit of a surprise, as WSU lost major players from last year’s squad (including all-time leading scorer Borislava Hristova) and were picked to finish 12th in the Pac-12. However, that preseason projection clearly didn’t factor in super freshman guard Charlisse Leger-Walker.

Leger-Walker is joined in the backcourt by her redshirt senior sister Krystal, who is also providing a major impact in her first season after transferring from Northern Colorado.
