I have to agree and I am also a big fan of Phee and thought she had it locked up at one point. My personal vote would be for A’ja at this point, not that my opinion matters. 50/40/90 is still extremely impressive.
Votes were submitted at the end of the season. The play-offs won't have any impact.
She's immune to foul calls so that sure helps. She set about 7 moving screens last night. As usual she ends up with "0" fouls. It's a joke. She a great player and doesn't need the help or the bonus double digit points at the line.
They don't count the playoffs - but I'm sure Wilson will get it.
All Ws are created equal. Isn't that in the Constitution and the WNBA bylaws?
Do not disagree, but the same is true of Aliyah Boston. Her performance has been even better by every advanced metric, yet Mitchell is garnering the individual accolades. It really shows both the much greater difficulty and the higher standard for a post to capture everyone’s attention versus a perimeter player.
It is definitely a head scratcher. After the game finished, I kept on thinking about the seasonal plots for the Liberty and Aces – exact opposite trajectories.The Liberty had it going at the beginning of the season but just fell apart when the injuries started piling up and it seems like they could never find that groove when the band was all back on the court together.
The problem is that the talent wasn't evident. Jones was a negative factor, and Cloud and Fiebich were non-factors. I almost felt bad for Stewie. She's grinding on and MCL sprain and half her teammates are giving the effort rec basketball deserves.
Brondello skates by on underachieving all the time. 2 Titles, but a whole bunch of other seasons significantly lesser than they should be given the talent she had.
Meesseeman didn't play much in the 3rd game. Seems like she never really got fully on track with them.
Hard to join a team mid year as a big time player and find your way when you're not really needed. Libs were already set IMO with a clear starting 5 of Cloud/Sabrina/Fiebich/Stewart/Jonquel.
New York was a mystery this season, like a lot of teams to be honest. Hats off to Phoenix! Great game.
Jones' performance this play-offs series was definitely perplexing, to put it mildly. Last season she was the MVP of the finals. The difference is glaring.
Some reactions and other things to ponder between now and next training camp.
I have said that before, she had DT, Griner, and other all stars with one title. Stewie needs to get out of there. Still say if she can get Miller to become the Coach in Dallas, go there and take Meeseman and join Paige.
This just occurred to me seeing your post: Will they be able to protect their remaining player or two in the expansion draft? If so, they (and probably a few other teams) won't have anyone available for the new teams. If teams have to have players available, some might have to start building from just draft picks.
It's a good question. Last year, in late September 2024 the WNBA announced that the expansion draft was held on December 6th of the same year. Free agent negotiating began in mid-January 2025 with the actual signings starting on Feb. 1. And the WNBA draft was held just after the NCAA championship in April '25.
