Elena Delle Donne headlines the all-WNBA first team.

The Chicago Sky forward received first team-votes on all 39 ballots from a national panel of writers and broadcasters in balloting announced Thursday. The league MVP averaged 23.4 points, scoring at least 40 twice. She shot 95 percent from the free throw line and finished third in the WNBA in rebounding to earn her first selection to the team.

She is joined by Maya Moore of Minnesota, Tina Charles of New York, DeWanna Bonner of Phoenix and Angel McCoughtry of Atlanta.

Phoenix center Brittney Griner highlights the second team. Candace Parker of Los Angeles, Tamika Catchings of Indiana, Epiphanny Prince of New York and Courtney Vandersloot of Chicago make up the rest of the second team.
