    You have 1 rookie in this top ten list. Is that fair? If you used numbers for Caitlin for just the last 20 games, her totals in assists and points would make her #1 or #2. Your selection is very similar to what the biased media picked the all WNBA teams. How can Thomas be rated so high when she got only 10.6 PPG? How is that top ten? Did you check on how much these other players got better after their rookie year?

      Same, most of these players are known entities who've either peaked or are in decline, and infact he gave them credit for performing better in past seasons and the one player on the list that's on a rocket trajectory improvement curve gets downplayed because of stats in the first few months as they adjusted. This would make sense if you were assessing an award for the season as a whole and impact averaged out over all games but if you were picking one of those ten for a randomly constructed team for 2025, ie in the future, then CC has to be top 2 based on her demonstrated development across the season, maybe NC's experience would pip CC if you could only have the player for 1 season but if you are starting a franchise then CC is the better pick. Again, Josh is the one that made the premise that this is picking someone to drop into a new team so trajectory and potential should weigh heavier in the assessment, if it was just a 2024 MVP list then having CC at 4 is fine.

    Excellent analysis. Happy to see you put A'ja second without fear while using sound analysis. I still think she is the best...but you make Napheesa a credible choice for the top spot with your arguments. Very well done...felt like I was watching a Capstone Project presentation for a Master's degree...look forward to more. P.S. Bravest thing was the Chennedy argument...she is legit top 5 hated in my opinion, despite her high skill level. I can imagine having her in your top10 took some consideration...she is very polarizing.

    I agree with you for the most part, but a couple of areas where I disagree: 1. Every player needs some level of off-ball facility, which lowers my estimate of both Chennedy and AT for the purposes of this exercise. In addition to lacking a three-point shot, you rarely see Chennedy generating offense out of anything that isn't a drive to the basket, and you can't do that every time down the court. It is an issue I would worry about when picking her for a team in a vacuum. 2. I think the Aces guards generating most of the offense in the playoffs isn't a knock against A'ja, since her gravity is what facilitates it. Every team sells out to help against her which has left Chelsea/Kelsey/Jackie lots of room to maneuver, and they are skilled enough to take advantage, driving the offense into nuclear territory. Which isn't to say that I take particular issue with the ranking since I think there's a path to putting both Phee and Stewie ahead of her due to variety of offense (I still would take A'ja, though).

    Good list. I don’t necessarily disagree with Carter’s inclusion but I’ll emphasize your point about lacking an outside shot. Simply put. I don’t think a guard can thrive in the modern game on slashing alone. They need to either be a playmaker with at least 4 or 5 assists per game OR an outside threat with at least 36% on 4+ attempts per game.
