WNBA scoring leaders

Per-game scoring leaders from a season of WNBA player box scores with wehoop.

wehoop covers women's basketball — WNBA and NCAA — with the same loader pattern as the rest of the family. Player box scores make leaderboards trivial.

wnba_leaders.R

# install.packages("wehoop")
library(wehoop)
library(dplyr)
 
box <- load_wnba_player_box(seasons = 2024)
 
box |>
  group_by(athlete_id, athlete_display_name) |>
  summarise(
    gp      = n(),
    ppg     = mean(points, na.rm = TRUE),
    .groups = "drop"
  ) |>
  filter(gp >= 20) |>
  arrange(desc(ppg)) |>
  head(10)

The college game ships too: load_wbb_pbp(), load_wbb_player_box(), and friends carry the full NCAA women's basketball slate back more than a decade.
