Brittney Griner is among the most recognizable athletes in the WNBA, dating back to her collegiate dominance at the University of Baylor in the early 2010s.
The six-time All-Star and 2014 WNBA champion infamously endured an entire year in a Russian prison, and returned to play in admirable fashion in 2023. The 6-foot-9 center is averaging 18.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks for the Phoenix Mercury in 2024.

3. Napheesa Collier, Minnesota Lynx
NBA 2K25 Rating: 95
NBA 2K24 Rating: 89
Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx are in the midst of a memorable season. Boasting the third best record in the WNBA and the best record in the Western Conference, the Lynx captured the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup on June 25. Collier was named MVP, pouring in 21 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three steals in the deciding game against the New York Liberty.
Napheesa Collier has gotten better each and every year since entering the league.
Collier is currently averaging career highs in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks, and as a result, the Minnesota Lynx have established themselves as one of the best teams in the WNBA.

1. A’ja Wilson
The title of the best player in women’s basketball belongs to A’ja Wilson, and it doesn’t look like she’s going to relinquish it anytime soon. The Las Vegas Aces phenom leads the league in scoring, rebounding, blocks, win shares, and PER.
Fresh off of an Olympic gold medal, 2024 could prove to be a memorable year for Wilson. The 28-year-old is the current odds-on MVP favorite, and the Aces look primed to win their third successive championship.
