Lynx's Napheesa Collier voted unanimously to All-WNBA First Team

Lynx forward Napheesa Collier was unanimously voted to the All-WNBA First Team, the league announced on Wednesday.

That should come as no surprise, considering she finished second in MVP voting behind the Aces' A'ja Wilson this year. Wilson and Collier were the only two players who were on the first team of all 67 voters' ballots. Joining them are the Liberty's Breanna Stewart, the Sun's Alyssa Thomas, and the Fever's Caitlin Clark, who is the first rookie to make the first team since Candace Parker in 2008.

The All-WNBA second team is composed of New York's Sabrina Ionescu, Phoenix's Kahleah Copper, Seattle's Nneka Ogwumike, Dallas' Arike Ogunbowale, and New York's Jonquel Jones.

Collier, 28, was also named the WNBA's Defensive Player of the Year this season. She averaged 20.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 49 percent from the floor and 80 percent from the free throw line across 34 games for the Lynx. She's been even better through the first nine games of this postseason, averaging 25.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.7 steals, and 2.2 blocks while shooting 56 percent from the floor and 87 percent from the line.

It's the second straight first team All-WNBA selection for Collier, who is a four-time All-Star and the 2019 Rookie of the Year.

The Lynx and Liberty are tied 1-1 in the best of five WNBA Finals. Game 3 will take place at Target Center in Minneapolis on Wednesday night.
