Parker sat down with Complex, a media company, and ranked the player, beginning with Wilson.

"A'ja Wilson, reigning MVP, couple of defense players, two championships. If there was something higher than S, I would definitely put her up there. But Napheesa Collier, she's up there with top tier with A'ja. Just her ability to play on both sides of the ball. "

Wilson averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 40 games in 2025 and won her third WNBA championship. Napheesa Collier was not much behind, 22.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 33 games. But Parker's S tier did not end there.

She's got three of them things. I don't think there's any debate with that," She contiuned as she dropped the 3 WNBA champion in the S tier. Catilin Clark didn't make it, though.

Talking of her, Parker said, "Caitlin Clark is at an A level. I think in time, she's gonna raise up to that S, but in order to put her at that level, she's gotta have a couple more years." The 2024-25 Rookie of the Year has recorded an average of 8.5 points, 8.5 assists, and 5.5 rebounds in 53 regular-season games in 2 season.

Parker also ranked Kelsey Plum, 2 time WNBA champion, and Sabrina Ionescu into the same tier as well, saying, "She's (Sabrina) one of the best shooters in the WNBA, if not the best shooter in the WNBA."

The 3-time WNBA Champion then ranked Arike Ogunbowale and Paige Beckers at the B level. Cameron Brink and Angel Reese. found the C level in her list. Clearly, as per Aj'a Wislon is the best, but what does she think about that?
