Jackie's shooting 55%, 46% 3s. Arike, Marina, Jewell, & JY by Domerduck

are all top 10 in scoring per minutes in the WNBA so far behind Rhyne Howard (31.6) and Liz Campage (31.5). Arike and Marina are #3 & #4, both with 30.6 pts per 48 minutes. Jewell is #5 at 29.4 and Jackie is #9 at 27.0. The other qualified ND players include #16 Sky at 24.2, #41 Jess at 16.8, and Bri #55 (out of 55 qualified players) at 5.4 pts per 48 minutes.

Of course Jess and Bri are there for others things mostly rebounds where they are #7 at 13.3 and #12 at 11.7 respectively. Still Marina is the top guard in the WNBA on the rebounds per minute list at #23, 8.4 per 48 minutes. The rest of the ND stars on rebounds-#34 Sky (6.0), tied at #39 Jackie & Jewell (4.8), and #45 Arike (4.2).

What is even cooler about Jess is she is the top big in the WNBA in assists per minute behind #1 Sloot and #2 Sue Bird. The ND playmakers start with #8 Marina at 7.1, #9 Sky at 6.4, then #11 Jess at 6.2. The next big who's on that assist list would be Candace Parker at #18 at 5.7 assists per 48 mins. Rounding out the ND crew are #14 Arike at 6.0, #21 Jackie at 5.2, #28 Jewell at 4.5, and #37 Bri at 3.6.

A few other things to point out about the stats (linked) is Jackie is leading the league in mpg at 34.3, with Sky #3 (33.8), Bri # 11 (32.0), and Jess #13 at 31.9. Jackie and Jess have started and played in all 7 of their team's games. On FG% which Dillon points out Marina's proficiency of the qualified WNBA players, Jackie is #7, Marina #8, and Jess #12 (51.7%). For 3 pt % Marina is #10 and Jackie is #15 as there seems to be a lot of good 3pt shooters in the WNBA.

Finally the other stat I was interested in was Baba's favorite, how the ND players did in efficiency (EFF). Using the efficiency number per 48 minutes, Jackie and Marina join league scoring leader Rhyne Howard as the only guards in the top 18 with Jackie #10 at 29.8 and Marina #12 at 29.0. Jess leads the rest at #13 at 28.0 with #32 Sky (21.3), #33 Jewell (21.2), #35 Arike (20.8), and #38 Bri (20.1). When you look at EFF per game because of Jackie & Jess's playing time, Jackie is the top guard at #4 (21.3) and Jess is #8 (18.6). Marina and Sky are both #20 at 15.0 while #30 Bri and #31 Arike have been more inconsistent at 13.4 and 13.3 respectively.
