McCoughtry may be slipping in the MVP race, but if the season were to end today, the Atlanta Dream star would win the Defensive Player of the Year award. Sylvia Fowles has been absolutely dominant, Parker continues to be a two-way threat and Tamika Catchings is anchoring the top scoring defense in the WNBA.
When it’s all said and done, however, McCoughtry is the best player on the top team in the league, which just so happens to rank second in scoring defense.
At this point, it appears to be a four-woman race among Catchings, Fowles, McCoughtry and Parker, with injuries stalling a significant amount of contenders. With McCoughtry leading the WNBA in steals and Catchings reaching full health, that four-person race suddenly seems to be coming down to two.
It’s close, but McCoughtry still holds a slight edge over Catchings.
