Real Clear Stats' Ben sent Zane a wall of text he couldn't stop talking about — Kate Fahey's Player Impact+ numbers from this past weekend were in a league of their own on the women's side, including a 38% net margin on speed-ups.

On the debut of "MVP of the Weekend" Kate breaks down what's behind the surge: finding her own offense alongside Anna Bright and Gabe Tardio, adding a flick out of the air, and why making herself unpredictable on the right side is forcing opponents to respect shots they used to ignore.
