Last year felt like a coronation of sorts for A’ja Wilson. She picked up a Finals MVP to go with her two regular season MVPs, won another championship and earned another honor as Defensive Player of the Year. Wilson set career highs in points, rebounds and blocks. It was her sixth season in the WNBA and, it seemed, the first glimpse of what might be her peak.
It now feels more like a warmup. Wilson has taken her career performance from last season and managed to upgrade it across the board. She has not simply improved her game this year so much as she has completely expanded it.
