2. Sylvia Fowles
Well, she did it: Cheryl Reeve traded for Sylvia Fowles and made a surefire Hall of Famer even better. Fowles put up the best true shooting percentage of her career, 69.1 percent, in a career in which she’s already the WNBA leader in true shooting percentage. She blocks shots, she defends, she’s a top-five all-time rebounder, she is almost certainly the finest true five to ever play the game, and she’s drinking the potion that all Minnesota Lynx players drink to make them somehow age in reverse. She won the MVP in 2017, and she’s on the shortlist of players who will win it in 2018. And she hasn’t even expanded her shot to beyond the three-point line. She’s just, exquisitely, uniquely, Sylvia Fowles, and just incredible at being her.
