not surprised

A lot of good candidates this year. I feel Bone was the MIP, but Shenise Johnson of Indy jumps right out as an outstanding candidate as well.

That's part of the problem with the W, exposure... I never saw Johnson til the playoffs. She good, really good!

Excellent point. Unless you like watching (and paying) the stream of live access, you didn't see much of Johnson (or several others) during the season.

How SA gave her up I'm not sure; and on this week's podcast Mike T. reveals he tried last season to get her for Washington.

Norwich Bulletin also says Bone is expected...

From: http://www.wnba.com/news/suns-cente...ba-most-improved-player-presented-by-samsung/

"Connecticut Sun center/forward Kelsey Bone is the winner of the 2015 WNBA Most Improved Player presented by Samsung, the WNBA announced today. Bone received 14 of 39 votes from a panel of national and local sportswriters and broadcasters.

Indiana Fever guard Shenise Johnson finished second with nine votes. Los Angeles Sparks center Jantel Lavender and Chicago Sky guard Courtney Vandersloot tied for third with five votes apiece. Washington Mystics center Stefanie Dolson received three votes, followed by fellow teammate and center Emma Meesseman with two votes. Tulsa Shock guard Riquna Williams received one vote."

I would have thought there would be more love for Stefanie Dolson. Her starting and all-star caliber play certainly was important piece for the Mystics making the playoffs.

Most deserving of the award Kelsey!!! Another great pick was Shenice but glad the Sun won out on this one.

Has Lobo announced the WADMIP ( without a doubt MIP)?

I would like to see some "Least Valuable" and other "Least" awards. Let's just not have a poll for "Least Valuable Poster."

I thought Kelsey, Jantel, and Stef were the top 3.
