Agree! In the games of Seattle i've seen, basically the team gives her the ball and looks at her throwing very difficult shots...she is without a doubt a great player but her shot selection got a lot of room for improvement.
Not being argumentative but if Thomas had Stewies stats and vice versa would you pick Thomas as the POY...just asking.
Wilson was better this year than last year, when she won the MVP. And for all the talk about Jones getting hurt for Connecticut, not seeing much mentioned about the Aces being without Parker for more than half of the season, and them having ZERO depth after that injury.
Since you're asking - no. Stats often have to do with the other players on your team. Thomas isn't playing with the talent that Breanna is playing with, so part of her numbers thing have to do with the fact that she had to do so much herself. And she did , and should easily win MVP. But she's not the best player in the league this year which,to me,is what the AP award is for.
Maybe ,because of that, she'll be MVP, though I still would give it to Thomas, because her supporting cast was not as good as Wilson's. The AP has made it clear that their award is for the best player, and that's a totally different award than MVP. Stevie should not be MVP.
Okay, making a clear distinction between most valuable and best player is messing with my mind a bit, but I get your point.
Thks for the explanation, last question, whts ur qualifications to be considered for the AP award?
Sykes is one of my favorite players; I love her game. She was certainly valuable, not in as many ways as Thomas.
I think player of the year should have the best all around game; scorer,rebounder, passer , defender, sorta like Breanna Stewart. Years from now the award may be named The Stewie!
