You can take Griner off the list...she will not be MVP of the WNBA this year. EDD will have a great WNBA career but she will not win the MVP in her first year. Epiphany Prince due to her overseas commitments will not win it either...so it comes down to

Maya Moore
Diana Taurasi
Tamika Catchings
Seimone Augustus
Cappie Pondexter
Candace Parker
Tina Charles

I think Angel and Sylvia are great players but I don't see them winning the MVP. Additionally, while I think that Maya Moore could very well have a break-out year given her now veteran status and her play in the China leagues but with another super star on her team in the person of Seimone Augustus there may not be enough basketballs to go around on that Lynx team and both of them may in fact make it difficult for the other to win the MVP. My guess is it will come down to Candace Parker, Maya Moore and DT. The reason I feel that DT will have a good shot at it this year...is that she finally has a center to plog up the middle to block and alter shots and to rebound and clean up misses, I also believe that Penny Taylor is back, Lindsey Whalen is one of the best point guards in the league...DT will be free to create and shoot. LA is loaded but Candace will be the go to player. Her three point shot has greatly improved and I believe that Candace can be as good as she wants to be.

Curious about what eliminates BG from contention in your opinion. To so bodily say that you can remove her from the list is curious considering her dominance in college.

one title isn't dominance

You can easily find the same criticisms leveled at Sue Bird as those itemized about Prahalis. The critics keep up that tearing down of Sue to this day, although they've stopped trying to replace her on the Olympic team with Loree Moore. Mostly I think because now they want to replace Sue with Sharnee Zoll.

Give Prahalis more than a year before ruling her out. How many PGs have come into the W and been a force from their first year? Not many. It's probably the position that requires the most development time of any.

I find myself more excited about this season than I ever have been before. So many UConn faves to watch...so many fascinating combos. It's going to be great!!
