Drip feed continues. All-Star 5 as expected. Can't really complain about anyone missing there.

Whitcomb - Williams - Taylor - Batkovic - Cambage

Will know who the MVP is tomorrow

No complaints here either. That's a mighty fine 5.

I can barely handle all this fanfare though.

A very deserving all star 5.. I'd be happy with any of those 5 being crowned the MVP tomorrow, I thinking Williams will get it though.

Hopefully they announce the top 10 vote getters tomorrow along with the MVP - I'd be interested to see who was thereabouts as you could just about draw out of a hat those who'd be placing 6-15th.

The build up has been amazing...

One of the best all-star 5's in memory

Yeah I tracked it a week ago, as MVP I can't see how it isn't Cambage or Batkovic again, they had too many games where they were clear #1.

MVP Votes:
Suzy Batkovic (117)
Liz Cambage (104)
Courtney Williams (95)
Asia Taylor (85)
Sami Whitcomb (82)


You nailed it, Waves2Lynx. Top 5 in correct order. Good stuff.

Congrats to Suzy on #6

Snell ahead of Whitcomb for mine.

Top 10:

1. Suzy Batkovic 117 votes
2. Liz Cambage 104 votes
3. Courtney Williams 95 votes
4. Asia Taylor 85 votes
5. Sami Whitcomb 82 votes
6. Steph Blicavs 57 votes
=7.Jenna O'Hea 55 votes
=7. Abby Bishop 55 votes
8. Jen Hamson 54 votes
9. Nicole Seekamp 52 votes

As I'd expected a very clear top 5 and could just about pull the following 5 out of a hat. IMO Snell, Kunek, George and Novosel would've been thereabouts too for those spots 6-10. It's pretty damn impressive that O'Hea came in at 7th given her injury mid-season.
