This is separate from my Seal of Approval thread and is an objective tier list of current WNBA players. I do not know how frequently I will ever update this.

The players are not listed in any specific order beyond the tiers themselves. I'm rather confident in where things are with #1, Superstar, and Star. That said, there is a reasonable argument to bump Ionescu down from star and bump a different player or two up to Superstar. Comparing guards, Ionescu is only better than Loyd, Plum, Young, and Gray this regular season specifically.
Generally, bringing any player up or down by a tier for All Star, Borderline All Star, Very Good, and Starts on Most Teams would be reasonable. Maybe some of the players on the List Worthy tier could be brought up by one, and I'm sure there would be arguments that some of those players don't belong on the same level and/or there are players omitted that should be on that level.
Here are the players ordered from left to right:
#1 - A'ja Wilson
Superstar - Breanna Stewart, Kahleah Copper, Napheesa Collier, Sabrina Ionescu
Star - Jewell Loyd, Nneka Ogwumike, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, Satou Sabally, Rhyne Howard, Aliyah Boston, Britney Griner, Dewanna Bonner, Alyssa Thomas
All Star - Allisha Gray, Brionna Jones, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Kayla McBride, Natasha Cloud, Ezi Magbegor, Jonquel Jones, Caitlin Clark, Chennedy Carter, Arike Ogunbowale, Diana Taurasi
Borderline All Star - Brittney Sykes, Dijonai Carrington, Shakira Austin, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Dearica Hamby, Tina Charles, Alanna Smith, Ariel Atkins, Natasha Howard, Angel Reese
Very Good - Kelsey Mitchell, Rickea Jackson, Aaliyah Edwards, Maddy Siegrist, Marina Mabrey, Jordin Canada
Starts on Most Teams - NaLyssa Smith, Temi Fagbenle, Kamilla Cardoso, Stephanie Dolson, Rebecca Allen, Cheyenne Parker-Tyus, Bridget Carleton, Teaira McCowan, Cameron Brink
List Worthy - Sophie Cunningham, Rachel Banham, Aerial Powers, Courtney Williams, Kalani Brown, Diamond Miller, Jordan Horston, Izzy Harrison, Kayla Thornton, Dorka Juhasz, Karlie Samuelson, Alysha Clark, Kiah Stokes, Julie Vanloo, Tiffany Hayes
