The MVP is based on more than points, although points is a major consideration (otherwise we wouldn't have a 'defensive player of the year' award). If based solely on points, here are the season points leaders, at this moment:

1. Diana Taurasi, 24.1
2. Angel McCoughtry, 20.7
3. Elena Delle Donne, 19.4
4. Tina Charles, 18.6
5. Tamika Catchings, 18.4
6. Maya Moore, 17.9
7. Glory Johnson, 17.8
8. Cappie Pondexter, 17.7
9. Shavonte Zellous, 17.1
10. Seimone Augustus, 17.0
