Noa Dalzell of SB Nation selects Portland Fire guard Carla Leite for the award after evaluating three finalists: Leite, Washington Mystics center Shakira Austin, and Dallas Wings forward Jessica Shepard. Dalzell notes all three players showed major improvement and could deserve the award, but Leite's gains in scoring, assists, and efficiency margins exceeded the others.
“Ultimately, after a ton of back-and-forth, I picked Carla Leite.”
