| Clark, Collier, and Stewart are the only players in the top 20 in the league in ppg, apg, rpg, bpg, spg, and efficiency. Wilson is only out of the top 20 in apg, but close enough to where she could probably get there. I figure the MVP will come out of these four players. While Wilson has been stellar and the frontrunner, I do think with a huge surge to end the season, any of these 3 players could challenge her for the award, especially if Wilson stumbles in a couple of games.

I can't agree. Wilson has it so wrapped up that I think she is likely to be unanimous.
The more interesting question to me is who gets the fourth All-WNBA slot. I think Wilson, Collier, Stewart, and Ionescu are pretty much locked in. I could see that last slot going a few different ways - Copper, one of the Indiana guards, one of the LV guards, maybe even Loyd if Seattle finishes strong.
I think it's probably most likely to come down to Copper, Mitchell or Clark, and that's kind of wild given how the first few games of the season looked.

If the Aces end the season like they started it, and Collier/Stewart/Clark make some gains statistically, then I do think it becomes competitive. If the Aces stay about where they are or rise, then I think Wilson is hands down the unanimous favorite.
I see 1st and 2nd team looking like:
1st:
Clark
Ionescu
Collier
Stewart
Wilson
2nd:
Ogunbowale
Lloyd
Copper
Ogwumike
Griner
I figure the one who finishes higher in the standings out of Copper/Lloyd/Clark will ultimately end up 1st team.

Griner missed 25% of the season, I highly doubt she'll get the votes over Alyssa Thomas or Jonquel Jones (even if she is eligible?). I could see any combination of those 2 and Ogwumike, but otherwise I think you're spot on.

{Holds up hand}, how about some love for Kelsey Mitchell here and what she is doing post Olympic break, and she wasn't bad before that.

She's pretty much a lock. I don't know if means it will be unanimous though; that voter who didn't put A'ja in the Top 3 might vote for Napheesa, or maybe a crazed Lynx fan.
