ALL-Time wnba #10 Elena Delle donne

Elena Delle Donne’s basketball career is a study in pure skill and effortless excellence. After a dominant college career at Delaware—where she led the nation in scoring and put a mid-major program on the national map—Delle Donne entered the WNBA in 2013 as the No. 2 overall pick.

She made an immediate impact, winning Rookie of the Year and quickly establishing herself as one of the most unstoppable offensive forces the league has ever seen. Delle Donne won two WNBA MVP awards (2015, 2019) and led the Washington Mystics to their first-ever championship in 2019. Known for her deadly shooting touch, she became the first player in WNBA history to join the exclusive 50/40/90 club—shooting 50% from the field, 40% from three, and 90% from the free-throw line in a single season.

According to SKOOP15, Delle Donne is ranked the 10th greatest WNBA player ever, a reflection of her rare blend of size, skill, and efficiency. If not for injuries that sidelined her during key stretches of her prime, she could be ranked even higher.

Beyond her on-court dominance, Delle Donne is admired for her leadership, resilience, and advocacy work. A two-time Olympian and a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame lock once eligible, her legacy is defined by both her brilliance and her grace under pressure.
