WNBA Advanced Analytics: Impact Leaderboard

W-ARC is LUMA's WNBA advanced analytics rating: regularized adjusted plus-minus solved over lineup stints and blended with true-efficiency box production, expressed per 100 possessions. Offense and defense are solved separately rather than one being derived as a residual, so O-ARC and D-ARC sum to the total exactly.

Coverage runs from 2002-03 through 2025-26 — every WNBA season with play-by-play — across single-season, two-, three-, four- and five-year windows, plus peak and career views. These WNBA advanced stats are rebuilt nightly from the same corpus that feeds the daily board.

  • W-ARC Daily — the live WNBA board, updated after every game
  • WNBA Wins Above Replacement & Win Shares — wins above replacement, calibrated on real team wins
  • WNBA playoff impact — postseason RAPM
  • ARC methodology — how the model is built and validated
  • Glossary — every metric defined
