Based on my post from three years ago, only once has a player won a WNBA MVP without being in the Top 6 for both Win Shares (WS) and Player Efficiency Rating (PER).
This season there are 2 players who met that criteria:
A'ja Wilson - 1st WS and 1st PER
Breanna Stewart - 2nd WS and 2nd PER...

Tweeted eighth game this season Miles has had at least 15 points and 5 assists.
So how many Uconn WBB players (since 2000-01) have achieved the same? That was their 26th game of the season (in bracket shows occurrences after first 26 games).

I have heard Geno mention a number of times, most recently in the DePaul post game, that this year's team is a 'poor shooting team'.
Which begs the question how does this year's team shooting performance to date compare to previous teams? Below is a table showing stats since 2000-01 season...
This Karlie Samuelson GIF has me a little mesmerized.
Which fingers do you use to show the value 3?

5 = Index + Middle + Ring + Little + Thumb
Although neither Paige or Azzi have played a game for UConn yet, they are popular topics of discussion. It got me wondering exactly how high those expectations have been set.
When all is said and done after their careers are over where do you project the duo of Paige & Azzi will rank in...

Before I go digging into the stats anyone have any initial thoughts? Any comparable rosters (current or recent)?
Piggybacking on this Best Teams ever Bracket thread
I know people like to binge watch things these days.
Which season would you most recommend people binge watch? Not necessarily because it was the team with the best overall talent, they may not have even won the championship, but just the...
