The 1800 Club

I first heard about the 1800 Club from Frisco Del Rosario. Members of the 1800 Club are known to be good all-around shooters.

So how do you know if your favorite player is an 1800 club member? Simple: you add their field goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage, and free throw percentage. You then multiply that by 1000.

Out of all WNBA players who have played 500 or more minutes in a career, the club only has one member: Simone Edwards, who had a FG % of 478, a FT % of 647....and a 3-Pt % of 1000 (1-for-1 lifetime) to end up at 2125. If you put the restriction that the person has to have made at least 10 3-point attempts in a career, the best finisher is Elene Tournikidou at 1758. Jennifer Azzi, who just went into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, had a career number of 1741.

Even though it's hard to keep up that level of shooting for a career, it's good to look at seasonal numbers.
