Agree. Both Arike and Collier Have Played Awfully Well...

..but under very different circumstances. Collier has a better shooting percentage and has stuffed stats in numerous categories. She also has Sylvia Fowles, Odyssey Sims and Danielle Robinson on her team.
Her team has reached the playoffs, but even with the absences it's had (Moore, Shepard), they should've made it.

Arike is playing the ultimate combo guard, being asked to contribute heavily to scoring and distributing. And she's delivered, like a supernova in the 2nd half of the season: pretty sure she's tied for 3rd in league scoring right now.

Interestingly enough, if both the Minnesota Lynx (Collier) and Dallas Wings (Arike) have their absent stars back next year, their stats may come down next year.

And the other rookie to pay attention to is Teira McCowan of the Indy Pacers. Since she's been ensconsed for more than 25 minutes per game, she's starting to amass massive scoring and rebounding numbers. And her game is still raw arond the edges: she'll probably only get better.
