The Blast | Melanie VanDerveer

Wilson is on a tear, piling up numbers and accolades game after game.

She leads the league in win shares, just ahead of Napheesa Collier and Allisha Gray, for the third year in a row. Wilson is also the only player in league history to average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds while committing fewer than 2.5 turnovers a game in a season. She also claimed this feat last season. 

She is one of just four players in WNBA history to average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in a season, and the only one to achieve this multiple times. Wilson also stands alone as the only player ever to average 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks while shooting over 45% from the field.
