And why is Zandalasini on the poll? She played like 20 minutes last year.

She's really the only Lynx that qualifies. Or I could have listed Fagbenle...

Why the need to have a Lynx at all? Not every team is represented in the poll.

Zandalasini has improved. LA, Phoenix and Atlanta don't have anyone that stands out as an "MIP" candidate.

She was non-existent last year. It really shouldn’t even count as a rookie year.

I can think of Riquna Williams, Talbot, and Hayes. Usually your serious MVP candidates aren’t included in the MIP race, but I don’t think Hayes is that serious of a MVP candidate.
IMS seems somewhat improved, but she doesn’t really get the minutes to show it.

Sanders also shouldn't be on the poll, yes. Might as well have Cambage as as candidate.

Hard to understand how the most improved team in the league doesn't have anyone who can be considered for this award. Williams, Breland and Hayes all were quite improved over last season.

All three are past all-stars who weren't all-stars this year. Breland and Williams scored less this year than last, and Hayes scored a point more this year. There play on the court may be better, but they all have a history of success and none have the kind of improvement in statistics that wins this award.
None will get any votes.

You can improve by improving your roster even if the players don't get better. Dream added Angel, Breland, Montgomery, Bentley and Billing along with a new coach.

As pilight has said over the years, MIP basically says, "Last year, you sucked; this year, you did not suck nearly as much."

Not sure why this is still being debated. Howard won the AP version, and I don’t there’s much difference in the league version. Who votes for the award?
