It's no surprise that Collier and Jordan Brand agreed to a deal. Collier is one of the WNBA's brightest stars. She's a four-time All-Star who has earned All-WNBA First Team nods in each of the last two seasons. Collier landed on last year's First Team after averaging 20.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.

The four-time WNBA All-Star and reigning Defensive Player of the Year explained that for her, individual awards are secondary to making sure her team is doing all it can to win. Her philosophy is clear: if she focuses on winning, individual recognition should follow.

Napheesa Collier scored 34 points, spoiling the WNBA debut of fellow UConn alum Paige Bueckers and leading the Minnesota Lynx to a 99-84 victory over the Dallas Wings in the season opener for both teams.
