Candace Parker returns to the upper echelon of the MVP rankings after bouncing back from a string of lackluster games and subsequenlty reminding people while she's one of the most dominating forces in the game.
Elsewhere in the rankings, Maya Moore's stock continues to slide. With Moore often times disappearing for stretches of games this season, it's too difficult to ignore her fellow superstar teammates outshadowing her.
"What about Lindsay Whalen? The Lynx have arguably been the best team for two years and the early part of this season, and she is the catalyst!"
- Fred from Minnesota
But even though her competition is getting fiercer as the weeks progress, Angel McCoughtry is still an early favorite for MVP. Many of you pointed out not only is she taking over games, but her growth as a player this year compared to seasons past deserves recognition.
"Angel not only posts the stats to be the MVP but, she has shown tremendous growth in her game (ie; sharing the ball) and in her maturity (ie; less flopping and dirty looks). Angel also has that LBJ thing - she knows when the team needs her to take over and, when it does, she meets the challenge. ANGEL FOR MVP!!!"
- Nina from Georgia
Here are this week's rankings.
