The Minnesota Lynx's Maya Moore and Elena Delle Donne of the Washington Mystics are currently leading all other WNBA players in the first vote returns. With about a week left for voting, will these two WNBA stars be the top players voted on for the Eastern and Western Conference squads, or will other players pass them on the votes?
