Stewie wins AP POY

[Dogstar]

Little doubt that Thomas should win MVP, especially considering how important she was after Jones was hurt. But the AP award is for player of the year, which,to me, is very different from MVP. There should be little doubt in anyone's mind who the best player was this year, and has been for awhile. And probably will continue to be for awhile more. jmo.

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.

Just for funsies, let's talk about this then. Just how valuable was Brittney Sykes this year, keeping Washington above water during a season when EDD, Atkins, Austin, and Toliver all missed significant time?

Sabally for MIP, or Boston are simple choices, but who would you piack as 6th player ?

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!

Can a rookie be the most improved player? I mean, I get your point but I think it is judged by comparison to the previous WNBA season. Room for argument I guess.
