A’ja Wilson is one of one.

Phoenix fans have thrown Kahleah Copper’s name into MVP conversations, and understandably so. But with the level Wilson is performing at, it might be unfair to say it’s anyone else but her.
In her seventh year as a pro, Wilson is averaging 28.3 points per game, along with 11.4 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 1.9 steals. Just a week ago against the Dallas Wings, Wilson posted 36 points, 12 rebounds, and six steals. This stat line on the surface is abnormal. But it looks even crazier when you realize that she’s the only player in WNBA history to record 35-points, 10-rebounds and six steals.
Again, one of one.
