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.
