Reacting to Gray receiving three times more votes compared to Clark for the category, fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their disapproval.

"Career 5 APG," a fan said.

"WNBA GMs aren't serious people," another fan said.

"maybe in the other direction," one fan said.

Here are some more reactions from fans.

"Yeah I call bs on this poll," a fan said.

"It's flat out wrong," another fan said.

"They must like the flair over the quantity and consistency," a fan said.

Caitlin Clark had a historic rookie season last year and broke various assists records, including most single-season assists with 329, and most single-game assists with 19. The Indiana Fever star concluded her rookie campaign averaging 8.4 assists per game.

Meanwhile, Chelsea Gray is coming off a 4.9 assists per game season, and had a peak of 7.3 assists per game (2023) in the course of her 10-year career so far. However, the six-time WNBA All-Star has had a lot more time to make her case as a great passer, and the poll may look different after Clark's sophomore season.

The 2024 Rookie of the Year and Courtney Vandersloot tied for No. 2 for best basketball IQ with 18 percent of the votes each, while Chelsea Gray was listed on top with 36 percent.

Caitlin Clark will have three more opportunities to try and clinch a win against Chelsea Gray in the upcoming 2025 regular season. They will face each other for the first time in the season on Jun. 22, followed by two matchups in July.
