This is about what I expected. Would have loved 1st team, but no way with her lousy Wings.

This was, for the most part, a well thought out and interesting read... after reading it the decision by the writer to lean to Collier over Wilson leads me to believe there are, indeed, those who'll vote for Naphesa even though the weight of writer's argument leaned to A'ja.

That'd be too bad because the fact that Napheesa's a fine person and she's a former UConn player, I fail to see how her value to the Lynx measured up this season to Wilson's value to the Aces.

Oh, well. We'll see.

I fail to see how her value to the Lynx measured up this season to Wilson's value to the Aces.

It’s really quite simple: While the Lynx were great without Napheesa on the floor, they were significantly better when she was. Their net rating was close to doubling and their offensive & defensive rating were much better with her.
