2. Napheesa Collier
In her second year, Napheesa Collier averaged 16.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. Naphessa already established herself as one of the best at the age of 24. All-around player with a great skill set, I expect an MVP within two years. #WNBA

If you don't see a player mentioned in the top ten that you think should've been, consider whether they played this season, the age and whether they fall in the category of a star player or good role player. I wasn't about to use college stats to determine position either sorry.
That's the end of the thread; share your opinions. Again it's my opinion, and my mind changed a lot while making this. Im looking forward to next season, and I wish all the players excellent health and many great years ahead of them. Sorry for the delay as well.
