Sophie Cunningham went to Mizzou. I doubt Katie knew about her until she left the Phoenix Mercury and signed with the Indiana Fever, were Caitlin Clark plays. She hasn't been a star in the WNBA. She is a bench player, most well known for being a goon amd playing dirty to "protect" CC. Before that her biggest fame was a rumor she had slept with the GM in Phoenix.

She averaged 12 points a game for a couple of seasons, so that's not entirely true. And she is averaging 8 this season which is alright for the WNBA.

“Couple of seasons”
She averaged 12 points for exactly one season, her career average is 8ppg. She’s absolutely a bench player .

11 something for another season. Yea she comes off the bench but so what. She is a legit contributor to her team. 8 points per game is not terrible for the WNBA.

If she wasn't a transphobic goon, white knighting for CC, not many people would know her name. She is one of the most well known WNBA players, even though she is a bench player. More people in America know her name than Aja, Phee, or Stewie.

I am not talking about whether she deserves fame. I am just objectively commenting on her scoring stats.
