Angel McCoughtry and the Atlanta Dream were brought back down to earth this week thanks to a tough loss to the Minnesota Lynx. Many of you weighed in on her MVP prospects saying she hasn't had the fierce competition that would expose any potential vulnerabilities until now.
"Angel is still too one dimensional and as she showed in the game vs. the Lynx, she often does not hustle on defense. Diana Taurasi and Candace Parker are not only better players but also better teammates."
- John from Illinois
Meanwhile, Candace Parker continues to put up juggernaut numbers for the Los Angeles Sparks, strengthening her chances for the MVP title this season.
"I strongly believe that Candace parker deserves the league MVP this year because she takes her game to the next level."
- Gigi from Florida
But this week's MVP rankings have less to do with the usual names thrown around this season - Candace Parker, Maya Moore and Elena Delle Donne - but their impressive teammates like Kristi Tolliver, Lindsay Whalen and Sylvia Fowles. Here are this week's rankings.
