Jones makes a sixth consecutive appearance in the British Team of the Year having put up 17.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game for the Mystics.

In the front-court, Paxton starred for Durham despite their early struggles with 15.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists, while GB Olympian Stewart is the second Riders player in the team having contributed 10.9 points, 8.8 boards and 1.9 blocks across 14 league games as a mid-season signing.
