Unveiling the Golden State Valkyries’ Shocking Rise: What Nobody Predicted About Their WNBA Dominance

Any opponents that are marginal or worse shooters better get ready to be left open because the Valkyries are helping on any drive or post-up that has traction. They allow the most 3-point attempts in the league and teams shoot the seventh-best percentage on 3s against them. Teams shooting an average percentage on a lot of 3-point attempts isn’t optimal strategy unless there’s a successful tradeoff somewhere else in the numbers.

That tradeoff comes on points in the paint. The Valkyries allow a mere 28.2 points in the paint per game, which is 3.4 points fewer on average than the second-place Phoenix Mercury. That differential is greater than the difference between the Mercury and the seventh-place New York Liberty, meaning the Valks are in a class of their own in paint protection.
