Candace Parker is a basketball legend, and there's no denying she knows what she's talking about.
On Monday, Complex Sports shared an interview with Parker in which she ranked a few current WNBA players on a scale from S to D, with S being the highest ranking.

To one's surprise, Parker placed the league's reigning MVP A'ja Wilson right at the top of the list alongside Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart.
The Sparks' Cameron Brink, who is expected to return to the court before the end of the season, was placed in the C level. "I think just in terms of her kind of showing glimpses of what she's capable of. I think WNBA with the space and her length and versatility, she's going to be able to have an impact on the defensive end immediately," Parker explained.
Parker also put Angel Reese in the same level. "I put her right at that C level, I think in terms of being above, you have to be able to have the ability to carry your team. Be a one or two-option. I think Angel Reese is fantastic at her role, which is offensive rebounding. She showed and demonstrated so much growth in that first year," Parker said.
While some fans were outraged by the classification, it's fair to say Reese hasn't had the kind of career Wilson, Stewart, and Collier all enjoy — she's only in her second year in the WNBA.
