I would be surprised if a rookie who earned a starting job and is second on her team in both scoring and rebounding (as a guard), and has often been her team's leading scorer, would not get the award over someone who comes off the bench and is 7th on her team in scoring.

Stokes, easily. The single biggest reason NY has by far the league's top defense.

[Shades]

What's more rare, 10 reb for a post player or 10 assists for a combo(?) guard?
Aren't you just making an argument that a guard should rarely win ROY?

This was easy for me. Stokes is one of the top defensive players in the WNBA. She is the main reason for New York's rise this year in the Eastern Conference. Defense always leads to offense.

I like Loyd. She really injects excitement, optimism and scoring when she comes into the games.

These two players along with Prince and Charles tells you all you need to know why Liberty won the East this year.

I voted Loyd but its honestly a toss up between Loyd and Stokes.

Scoring and reputation almost always win out for ROY. Loyd has averaged 15,8 pts in her last 6 games. My guess she will win it but Stokes deserves it aswell

It also depends how much the voters are going to factor in Loyd's performance from July 31st forward, where she had 13+ points 8 times. In other words, will her recent performance outweigh her first half performance, where Stokes had a decisive advantage.

One of the fringe benefits of NY being 22-9 is that Stokes' contributions have received the publicity they deserve at least.

Remind us who votes for ROY. If it's media, they'd probably look mostly at scoring stats. If it's coaches who vote for ROY, it may be Stokes who wins because coaches are most likely to have felt the impact that Stokes has made.

Lets get the fact straight. Loyd didnt get benched. She asked to come off the bench to gain some confidence first
