Napheesa Collier or A’ja Wilson for WNBA Defensive Player of the Year? Fans are debating.

Even after Napheesa Collier locked up DPOY, WNBA fans are still debating about the award.

WNBA fans had lots of thoughts about Napheesa Collier winning Defensive Player of the Year.

The WNBA revealed several season awards on Sunday, including Defensive Player of the Year honors. That title went to Collier, who has been the life and soul behind the Minnesota Lynx and a massive reason why the team has one of the best records in the WNBA.

Additionally, Phee’s high motor helped Minnesota sustain a top-five defense for most of the season. With Collier’s help, the Lynx ranked second in defensive rating (94.8) and fewest points allowed (75.6.) At the individual level, Phee ranked second in the WNBA in steals per game (1.91),  fourth in defensive rebounds per game (7.5) and seventh in blocked shots per game (1.41).

Collier’s campaign to secure her new hardware was not without pressure from other players. A’ja Wilson, who also had a stellar season, was right behind Collier in voting.

As you might imagine, there’s been a conversation about Wilson and Collier both being defensive forces. Here’s some of what has been said:
