Let’s check out how things are going in mid-August.
Last Friday, I wrote on Swish Appeal that the Mystics have players or coaches in contention for most of the WNBA’s individual awards. But I also don’t think they will win any of them. Elena Delle Donne is an MVP contender, but Breanna Stewart has a better narrative. Mike Thibault has a case to be the Coach of the Year every season, but Dream head coach Nicki Collen and Storm head coach Dan Hughes are first year coaches who helped their teams improve more in the win column.
