WKBL announced the MVP and MIP players in the 3rd round of the flex 'Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball' on the 6th. Kim Sonia, who received 73 votes out of a total of 94 votes for the MVP, and Woori Bank's Lee Myung-kwan, who received 22 votes out of a total of 34 votes, was selected for the MIP, which is determined by the vote of the referee and the game management personnel.
After winning the third and fifth round MVP in the 2022-2023 season when she played for Shinhan Bank, Sonia was selected for the third time and received a prize of 2 million won. In the third round, Sonia ranked first overall in both categories with an average of 19.2 points and 2.4 steals per game, and averaged 9 rebounds per game, close to double-double every game.
It is certainly surprising that Shinhan Bank's rookie Hong Yoo-soon ranked second with 21 votes after Kim Sonia. Hong Yoo-soon topped the category with an average of 11.8 rebounds per game in the third round, beating Kim Sonia (159 points) with 178.5 points in team contribution, and ranking second in the round MVP vote with a great performance that is hard to believe to be a first-year player, including achieving a double-double in four consecutive games for the first time as a rookie.
Meanwhile, Lee Myung-kwan won his second career MIP in the third round with 13.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, firmly supporting his team's main gun, Kim Dan-bi. In particular, Lee Myung-kwan attempted 24 3-pointers in the third round and succeeded in 11, recording a high success rate of 45.8%, tying BNK Lee So-hee for first place.
