Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3253610, member: 7548"] As a complement to ROY (MVP seems to be in the bag EDD), MIP seems to be pretty competative. Article below by Michelle Smith has 7 candidates (Kia Nurse is one) and I have decided to turn this into a poll. Kia Nurse made her top 7 but not her final 2. Here is her analysis . Kia Nurse, New York 2018 Stats: 9.1 ppg, 29.4 3P% 2019 Stats: 14.3 ppg, 35.0 3P% The case to be made: In her second WNBA season, Nurse has established herself as a reliable scoring option to complement Tina Charles in New York. Nurse started just seven games last year as a rookie out of UConn, but has been in the starting lineup for every Liberty game this season. Nurse, who won two NCAA titles at Connecticut, has seven 20-point scoring game this season, including her latest effort, a 24-point effort on Aug. 25 against Washington that included a career-high six three-pointers. And she ranks among the league’s top free-throw shooters. After a strong start to the season, Nurse had tailed off offensively until her breakout against the Fever on August 20. She’d love to finish this season the way she started, with an offensive flourish.
