A'ja Wilson topped SB Nation's first 2026 WNBA MVP power rankings after averaging a league-best 24.8 points and 2.6 blocks for the 6-3 Las Vegas Aces.
Olivia Miles ranked second, with the rookie steering the 8-2 Minnesota Lynx through injuries and roster turnover while posting 17.0 points, 6.4 assists and a list-best 62.4% true shooting.
Paige Bueckers placed third for the 6-3 Dallas Wings, while Allisha Gray, Caitlin Clark, Rhyne Howard, Kelsey Mitchell, Breanna Stewart and Veronica Burton rounded out the top 10.
