ESPN analyst predicts A'ja Wilson to capture 4th MVP

After becoming just the fourth player in league history to claim three MVP awards, A'ja Wilson is projected by ESPN’s Kevin Pelton to make even more history by securing her fourth.

Last season, Wilson shattered single-season records for total points and rebounds, finishing with 1,021 and 451 boards, respectively, while leading the league in blocks. Her 26.9 points per game set a new WNBA scoring average record, and she ranked seventh in field goal percentage at 51.8%.

“As terrific as Napheesa Collier was last season, there is a reason A'ja Wilson won MVP unanimously,” Pelton wrote. “She put together a historic campaign to win the award for the third time in the past five seasons.

“There's no reason to expect much drop-off this year as she pursues becoming the first player in WNBA history to reach four MVP trophies.”

Other ESPN analysts in the same preseason preview picked Napheesa Collier to take home MVP honors after she claimed the award in the Unrivaled league’s inaugural season. Collier’s Lynx and Wilson’s Aces are among the top championship contenders this year.
