| I don't get the no love for Jonquel Jones. She's top three in the MVP race. Is it because she plays for Connecticut and not a powerhouse team like Minnesota or Los Angeles? Some people putting Ogwumike, Charles or Delle Donne ahead of her. |
Its maybe because Jasmine Thomas has been leading them aswell and could make an argument on who is playng the best for them. She probably takes some votes away while Charles and EDD are really the leading options for their team
Numbers:
Fowles 20,1 pts 10 rebounds on 66,6% shooting from the field
Griner 22,4 pts 8,4 rebounds on 58% shooting from the field
Jones 15,9 pts 11,8 rebounds on 53,7% shooting from the field
Jasmine Thomas 15 pts and 5,2 assists on 44% shooting from the field and 47% from behind the arc.
Scoring is very important if you want to win MVP and the difference between Jones and Fowles/Griner is pretty big in that department.
Is Catchings the only player to get an MVP award averaging only around 15 pts?

How close is "around"? Lisa Leslie won at 17.6 ppg in 2004. Candace Parker won at 17.9 ppg in 2013. Those are the next two lowest after Catchings' 15.5 ppg in 2011.

It's very entertaining to watch the BG-Fowles MVP debate. For once, I'm not the one pleading BG' s case. It's just interesting, I remember a few people on here saying, "I don't see the hype around Griner. What's so special about her? She's 6'8", she should be..." Well.
Of course, I'm going with BG for MVP

Nobody likes Goliath or Goliathess. If her team wins you will hear, "Of course, they have this 6'9" giant, they're supposed to win!" If her team loses you will hear, "How could they possibly lose: they have this 6'9" giant!?!"
The same scenario played out even much more so for Wilt "the Stilt" Chamberlain when he was the most dominant player the NBA has ever seen.
