I said "is this a joke?".
I didn't say it is a joke ....
A link was included so it was obviously not a joke post. You were even the source. That only leaves the impression that you had a problem with the list. You attempt at using semantics in respect to denial, equates with the infamous " I did not have sex with that woman."

First, this is the ESPN list, not the "official" list.

Second, they note that players who missed games for various reasons get marked down for that (Griner and EDD).

The only issue I have with the first team is minor. I'd have Skylar on the second team. I'm not sure who I'd move up, but someone from the group of Maya, Jonquel, or Stewie.

Sorry, Triad, but I'd move Jasmine and/or Chelsea down one level. I do acknowledge their 3-point shooting. Chelsea hits from very deep and challenges Tiffany for the highest arc.

I think Sue should be on the 3rd team.

Like the original list, I think your list doesn't reflect all the positions, but that's one way to do it. I largely agree with you.

No guards on your list, and only one on the original "First TEAM" Odd, but understandable I guess given the production and stellar play the posts have provided this season. If you make a rule for such teams, like "2 guards and 3 post players", you may quickly find you are debating where some players belong... players are becoming more and more versatile.

My mistake. I just put the top five of my list not considering the positions.
Maybe not a concern considering the original list.

Not a bad list IMO....Parker/Ogwumike/Charles/Fowles have been the 4 best players this year....I'm curious to see who gets the boot to second team assuming they stick to their C/F/F/G/G ruling, unless they were to label Parker as a guard.
