Wilson and Stewart were voted unanimously on all 56 ballots cast by a group of national sportswriters and broadcasters, according to the league. Wilson's third career All-WNBA appearance caps a stellar season for the 26-year-old in which she won the Defensive Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards.
The Connecticut Sun had the most selections among this year's All-WNBA second team, with Alyssa Thomas and Jonquel Jones joining New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu, the Los Angeles Sparks' Nneka Ogwumike, and Minnesota Lynx center Sylvia Fowles.
