Double-dog dare you to find a media member who believes filling out their All-Star ballot is an easy task. Sure, there are some names a voter scratches (or clicks) in immediately. Breanna Stewart, who is averaging a double-double, and A'ja Wilson, who is close to it, are in that class right now. But otherwise, it's an arduous task with no right answer.

Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports - 20827688Double-dog dare you to find a media member who believes filling out their All-Star ballot is an easy task. Sure, there are some names a voter scratches in immediately. Breanna Stewart, who is averaging a double-double, and A’ja Wilson, who is close to it, are in that class right now.
It means beyond those few easy selections, there’s a pack of players with cases for being an All-Star starter. And it’s important to remember, the final All-Star selections are a combination of fan, player and media vote, which means it often isn’t a decision based on the best 10 players. Fans vote for their favorites or make ballots based on their own favorite team. Players are known to do similar things with their ballots, if they submit a ballot at all.
Boston is playing like an established veteran and has the Fever in contention for a playoff spot early with both offense and defense. She remains as efficient as she was at South Carolina and ranks 19th in scoring and 13th in rebounding. Everyone in this frontcourt group is an MVP of their team so far with contributions that would significantly hurt their squad if missing or substituted by a backup.Napheesa Collier, Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne , Brionna Jones, NaLyssa Smith.— 16.5 ppg, 6.
The All-Star starters, led by the top two vote-getters as starters, will be announced Sunday. The league’s head coaches vote for the 12 reserves consisting of three guards, five frontcourt players and four of either position. They cannot vote for their own players. Those will be announced July 1. The captains will draft their rosters during a WNBA All-Star Team Selection Special, airing on ESPN at 1 p.m. ET July 8.
