The Summitt staff votes: WNBA Western Conference All Stars

West frontcourt: Maya Moore, Minnesota Lynx

Perhaps the shooting slump that began Moore’s season was a blessing. It forced the Lynx to rely on other options to get their offense—not that Minnesota has any shortage of those—and it highlights just how much Moore does for the Lynx that she’s an easy all star selection despite those early struggles weighing down her numbers. She’s seventh in the league in win shares, top three in plus/minus, with an assist percentage north of 20 and both block and steal percentages top five at her position. She’s Maya Moore, even when the shots aren’t falling.
