I’ve been very loud in the defense of Kelsey Plum anytime that anyone tried to discredit her accomplishments or doubt her impact at the next level. Accordingly, I would pick Plum to win the ROY if you were asking me straight up.

This, however, is a betting column, so I’m looking at value and where I think putting good money would be. Plum and Walker-Kimbrough are both extremely tempting, but give me Gray with those +600 odds. I could be talked into either of the other two players, but I think Gray is going to find a way to fill her stat sheet and help the Wings improve their record pretty significantly. If she does that, I think she could take home the hardware.
