The Minnesota Lynx are 6-0 on the season despite shooting 43 percent from the field as a team. Despite perennial MVP candidate Maya Moore shooting an incredible 31.5 percent. Despite Lindsay Whalen averaging a career low 6.2 points per game.
They are 6-0 largely because center Sylvia Fowles is kicking the league’s ass. The WNBA recognized that month of ass-kicking by naming Fowles the Western Conference player of the month for May.
Fowles has been absolutely dominating at both ends of the court. She is averaging 20 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game, all of which place her in the top four in the league in those respective categories.
