Who Victor Wembanyama and NBA stars predicted would win WNBA MVP

A’ja Wilson’s dominance in the WNBA was so pronounced that even NBA stars predicted her historic fifth MVP award long before the season began. The Las Vegas Aces forward led the league in scoring with an average of 26.2 points per game, while also pulling down 9.4 rebounds and a league-leading 1.9 blocks per game.

Her performance was so commanding that she secured 51 of the 67 first-place votes in the MVP race, solidifying her status as the most complete player in the league. Before the season started, NBA players like Victor Wembanyama, Jalen Brunson, and Alex Caruso publicly backed Wilson as their preseason MVP pick, praising her unmatched skill and consistency.

Caruso even went as far as saying she could win MVP every year if she chose to, while Fred VanVleet dismissed any competition, stating, 'I don’t see nobody coming close.'
