Inside The W with Michelle Smith: Postseason Award Predictions
As a voter for the WNBA's postseason awards and the Associated Press's postseason awards, Michelle Smith shares her votes:
Rookie of the Year: Napheesa Collier, Minnesota.
This is going to be one of the closest votes of the year considering the remarkable season that Arike Ogunbowale had for the Dallas Wings as a go-to scorer.
That said, Collier’s team is in the playoffs and UConn product played a big part in getting them there and that is the edge here. Collier leads all rookies in minutes played and efficiency. She is averaging 12.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, and is shooting better than 48 percent from the field. She can play defense, collecting 1.9 steals and nearly a block a game. She is one of six players in league history to collect 400 points, 200 rebounds, 80 assists and 60 steals in a season and that puts her in very impressive company. Some of the other players on that list …Tamika Catchings, Maya Moore, Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie. She is an integral part of a remodeling Lynx team that suddenly can feel really, really good about the future.
