St. Louisan Napheesa Collier was selected to the All-WNBA First Team for the third consecutive year on Friday.
The former Incarnate Word Academy All-American enjoyed her best WNBA campaign in leading the Minnesota Lynx to the league’s best record in the regular season.
Collier, 29, averaged 22.9 points a game along with 7.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.5 blocks a game. She also made history by becoming the first player in the WNBA to achieve a 50-40-90 season while averaging at least 20 points a game. She shot 53 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range and 90 percent from the free throw line.
Collier was also named to the WNBA’s All-Defensive First Team as well. She was the Defensive Player of the Year last season.
Collier was joined on the WNBA First Team by A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces, Alyssa Thomas of the Phoenix Mercury, Kelsey Mitchell of the Indiana Fever and Allisha Gray of the Atlanta Dream.
