The Down Low
Charli was always predicted to go number 1 in the WNBA draft in 2021. And some obnoxious college fans decided it was a good idea to chant “overrated” at her during her games. They should have realized that only fuels her: Here’s a video of her making a free throw and then getting a block on the other end after hearing that chant.
When asked about those chants after being drafted #1, Charli responded perfectly:
The same people who are saying that are watching me right now on TV.
Charli is confident that she deserves to be here. In this hype-up video, Charli describes that she has a “can’t stop me, won’t stop me” mentality. And it's clear her opponents don’t stop her: she’s averaged over 20 points per game her senior year of college, with a career-high 44 points in one game (her opponents only got 69 total).
Anyway, I am comfortable with saying she’s appropriately rated as a top rookie. Getting a double-double in her first WNBA game helps too.

This is the game that I love. I deserve to be here and I'm built for it.
