OT: WNBA MVP...WNBA champ

[Blakeon18]

Napheesa seemed to be the clear favorite for quite a while...her missed games didn't help but she has played well
in her return.

Wilson has been fantastic of late....leading her team to 14 wins in a row...playing just great.

Toss in Alyssa Thomas perhaps who is getting triple doubles galore....averaging
for the season about 16/9/9.

The WNBA finals may involve Napheesa's and Wilson's teams which would be a fantastic match-up.

I think at this point it's Wilson due to Collier missing so many games. Wilson right now is:
-1st in points
-2nd in rebounds
-1st in blocks
-3rd in steals

Phee's numbers are excellent too and she would be the front runner right now if she didn't miss nearly 1/4 of the season. I just can't see voters choosing someone who has missed so many games when there are other players (Wilson and Thomas) having comparable MVP caliber seasons too.

The recent run by Wilson and the Aces has pretty much locked it up.

I have to disagree with you on this one. Phee only missed seven games this season. That is not close to a quarter of the season. A’ja missed three games as well but I just think Phee has clearly been the best player in the League and I’ll be very surprised if she does not win her first MVP award! Yes, Wilson has been superlative recently, but I tend to think they will reward Phee for her own excellent play over the course of a whole season!

Phee is resting for tomorrow's game so I think that locks up the MVP vote for Wilson. I think MVP should be Phee but what do I know? Recency bias is definitely a factor.
