Napheesa Collier Named Western Conference Player of the Week This latest award for last year’s Rookie of the Year is obviously well-deserved, as Collier averaged 18.3 points on 46.2% shooting (including 42.9% from deep), 13.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in 32.7 minutes per game last week. The former Connecticut Huskie currently ranks 13th in the WNBA in points per game (14.9), third in rebounds (9.0), sixth in steals (1.7) and sixth among all forwards in assists (3.3). Collier capped her brilliant week with a game-high 26 points (one shy of her career record), 13 rebounds and a career-high five assists in a win over the New York Liberty on Saturday, becoming just the third player in Lynx history to collect 25+ points/10+ rebounds/5+ assists in a game (the other two were Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles).
