You need a good bench to win in the WNBA. Having a certified player come in and make an impact can make all the difference.
As we approach the halfway point of the season, here are three serious candidates for the Sixth Player of the Year award. Two players are members of teams vying for playoff spots, and the other has been so good that she is the exception to the rule that you have to be on a winning team to be considered for such an award.
Myisha Hines-Allen (Washington Mystics)
Rules were made to be broken, and the Washington Mystics’ Myisha Hines-Allen is a rule breaker. Her versatile scoring ability as a forward is what every team wants on their roster. She’s big and strong enough to attack the paint and athletic enough to run point-forward and make plays.
MHA and the Washington Mystics outscored the Sparks (4-15) 30-16 in the 4th to win 82-80 in LA and improve to 5-15
