A'ja Wilson has set a new record for points in a single WNBA season, surpassing the previous mark of 939 held by Jewell Loyd. Wilson's remarkable scoring average of 27.31 points per game is on pace to potentially reach 1,000 points this season, a feat never achieved before. Her improved range, including a 34% success rate from beyond the arc, has added a new dimension to her offensive arsenal.
Wilson's dominance is part of a trend in the WNBA where scoring records are being shattered due to a combination of talented offensive players and an expanded schedule. The league has seen an increase in games played per season, providing more opportunities for players to showcase their scoring prowess.
