History tells us that there's a good chance someone else will be the MVP. But who? Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is the betting favorite at +200, per Caesars, and received two votes, while Napheesa Collier, last season's runner-up got one. Those two are the most likely candidates besides Wilson.

While she wasn’t picked to win MVP, Clark was chosen as the athlete GMs would build their franchise around. Meanwhile, the 2025 WNBA Draft’s first overall pick Paige Bueckers was selected as Rookie of the Year prediction.

Wilson has a bit of history working against her; Cynthia Cooper is the only player in WNBA history to win back-to-back MVPs, and that happened in the first two seasons of the league (1997, 1998). Wilson's certainly good enough to pull off the feat, but the bar and competition for a repeat is sky-high.
