Can't leave out Davis (Kaela) from Ga Tech. over 18 PPG is an eye-popping number for a freshie, and given she's the 2nd leading scorer on her team, it's not like all the offense flows through her. I think you also could add Reimer to that list, since we all saw her great numbers when starting in place of the injured Achonwa, and she's been solid off the bench since Natalie has come back.
I agree on Nina Davis and will be the first to admit that Baylor has been hands down the biggest surprise to me this season. I get that they have Simms, but like Stanford, their supporting cast has been much better than I thought and neither team is only a 1 trick pony, even tho Simms (and Ogwumike) are hands down the main focus every minute of every game.
Scaife for RU has put up almost identical numbers as Nina Davis and think you have to add her in as well. Interestingly enough, 3 of RU's top 4 scorers are freshmen (Scaife) or sophomores (Copper, Canty). The future looks bright for the Scarlet Knights.
Hard to pick the top 5. Some kids were asked to be starters and leaders from day 1, others who are maybe no less terrific, have come off the bench and been terrific in more limited minutes. Do you simply pick the kid who is a starter averaging 30+ MPG over a bench player averaging 18 MPG but who's production per minute is about the same? There's a difference between the "best" freshmen, and those producing the best statistics...
