Sun
The Connecticut Sun are making a strong case for the 2019 MVP race with the addition of Alyssa Thomas to their roster. Thomas, who was drafted fourth overall in the 2014 WNBA Draft, has been a consistent contributor for the Sun since joining the team in 2015. This season, she is averaging 13.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game, making her a viable candidate for MVP consideration.
Thomas joins A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart as the three Connecticut Sun players vying for the MVP award. Wilson, the first overall pick in the 2018 WNBA Draft, is averaging 20.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. She has been a key contributor to the Sun’s success this season and is a strong candidate for MVP consideration. Stewart, who was drafted first overall in the 2016 WNBA Draft, is averaging 18.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. She has been a consistent force for the Sun and is also a viable candidate for MVP consideration.
The Connecticut Sun have been one of the most successful teams in the WNBA this season and have a legitimate chance of winning the MVP award. With the addition of Alyssa Thomas to their roster, they now have three players who are all viable candidates for MVP consideration. It will be interesting to see how the race plays out between Wilson, Stewart, and Thomas as the season progresses.
