What about Courtney Vandersloot and Elena Delle Donne? You'll have to make your own decision on these players, but I've compiled a short list of the top 10 women's basketball players for your consideration.

Courtney Vandersloot

She was the first WNBA player who shot more than 50% from the field. Additionally, she shot over 40% from behind 3-point line. Her shooting percentage was so impressive that she became the first player to win two MVPs on different teams. Her efforts helped the Mystics reach the top of the playoffs and first place in the league. Her performances earned her 12 vote.
