Where does Candace Parker fall in WNBA MVP race?

Candace Parker is the only player in WNBA history to win MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same year. She averaged 18.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in 2008. (Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times, Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times)

In the Sky’s first game back Tuesday — a 90-75 win over the Dream — the two-time league MVP was hot early and had an energy that signaled it was going to be one of those nights for her. She finished with 31 points in 33 minutes and had 11 rebounds, three steals, three assists and 12 deflections.
