L as Vegas Aces superstar A'ja Wilson was about as easy of a choice for 2024 WNBA MVP as possible, given that she set the record for most points ever scored in a WNBA regular seas

Once again, Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson has claimed the top spot. The three-time MVP is coming off a historic campaign in which she set the league's single-season scoring record. She has firmly established herself as the best player in the world, and it may be some time before anyone knocks her off her spot.

We could be seeing the same thing in the WNBA, where Caitlin Clark stormed into the league as the No. 1 pick last year and backed up the hype by winning the league's Rookie of the Year award, averaging 19.

Drafted by the Dallas Wings as the 17th overall pick, Gustafsson has since been part of four WNBA outfits, including the Phoenix Mercury and Washington Mystics. She signed a two-year, $190,820 contract with the Aces in 2024 and carries a cap hit of $96,820 this season.

Caitlin Clark, last season's Rookie of the Year, is the biggest reason why the WNBA is hot right now. She headlines a new crop of stars - which includes Angel Reese, the runner-up in the 2024 Rookie of the Year balloting - who have entered the league dating back to last year and will take women's basketball into a potential golden era.
