You nailed it, Waves2Lynx. Top 5 in correct order. Good stuff.
Congrats to Suzy on #6

Yeah I tracked it a week ago, as MVP I can't see how it isn't Cambage or Batkovic again, they had too many games where they were clear #1.

Certainly do not think Cam age should even be in the running here fitbMVP, she’s been ejected twice, suspended in the season, and had that many techs , how can you reward behaviour like that with awards
It makes a mockery of the league


No complaints here either. That's a mighty fine 5.
I can barely handle all this fanfare though.

WNBL:
Robyn Maher Defensive Player of the Year award: Kayla Pedersen
(Runner-up: Sami Whitcomb; 3rd: Jennifer Hamson)
