Shifting focus to the Minnesota Lynx, Napheesa Collier is undoubtedly a player to watch. Averaging both 20.4 points and a team-high 9.7 rebounds per game, she's showing up as a significant double-threat. Her ability to dominate both the scoreboard and the glass might just be the edge the Lynx need. Additionally, Courtney Williams, with her knack for facilitating the ball, is posting an impressive 5.5 assists per game.
