A’ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark, or Olivia Miles? Breaking Down the WNBA Awards Race | Chiney Today

It’s awards time in the WNBA and some of the biggest races are still wide open. 🏆

Who should be MVP: A’ja Wilson, Olivia Miles, Caitlin Clark or Kelsey Mitchell? After running through the rest of the categories, Chiney and Sabreena debate whether MVP should reward the best individual season or the player whose impact translates most directly to winning. Sabreena makes the case for Olivia Miles, while Chiney explains why A’ja Wilson’s historic two-way dominance gives her the edge.
