Leslie and swoopes didn't start winning mvp's until they were 28, wilson just turned 29. Her wingspan is quite close to breanna's, btw. Based on my post from five years ago, only once has a player won a wnba mvp without being in the top 6 for both win shares (ws) and player efficiency rating (per)

This season there are 4 players who met that criteria (minimum 500 mp)
Kind of surprising considering they have
There is some interesting data here 1) one voter seemed to put allisha gray over at at 3rd, otherwise wilson, collier, and thomas got all the votes in the top 3 No 4th place votes for a'ja 😜 2) my girl boston got one 4th and two 5th place votes to have her tie with nneka for 6th She is the youngest player to get a vote (23).
The way wilson wears her uniform is not relevant to critiquing or praising her game Here are the best since 2000, including olympians brittney griner, lauren jackson, breanna stewart, diana taurasi, alyssa thomas and a'ja wilson. After last night's victory over connecticut, a'ja wilson is.11 pts from the wnba record for most points in a season 41 reb away from the highest rebounding season ever
Now this is freaking cool
Getting a chance to model/debut a'ja wilson's line before arriving on campus?!? Wilson appears to me to be just fine when playing behind the opposing bigs and not giving ground Breanna is more likely to play the 3 in some schemes and be ok when that is called for I still see wilson as a true 4
This could change as she gets more skilled/polished going forward
