Megan Gustafson has been hands down the most consistent performer among this group.

Good call - her too. I tend to overlook her because we don't get Big Ten network and they don't seem to play as many OOC games against the big teams, so I haven't seen her play at all. All of the others play for high profile teams with national games.

Edited to add: Wow. Gustafson hasn't finished a game with fewer than 10 points since her freshman year. I realize Big Ten is not the most competitive conference, but still.
 
This gets right back to the problem of the 2 most consistent players putting up the best numbers play for non-contenders. Who do you give it to?

Answer: Alana Smith
 
As she has flown under the radar most of her career, Pheesa is also flying under the radar in POY convos. The BY has been so worried about Lou...

Pheesa is averaging more points & rebounds than Ionescu as of now. There’s not a more versatile player in the county on the offensive & defensive end. Remember, defense is also a factor in this! Eye test should be used, not only stats.
 
I think there will be multiple award winners this year. Sabrina is the leader, but another 6-7 will compete.

I think Lou is the best all-around player, with Pheesa close, but Lou’s shooting numbers are down too much for her to win. But a hot streak can start at any time.
 
Some folks have mentioned players who lead their team to the Final Four, but I think the voting is done before that. I know many announcements are issued around the time of the Final Four, but I believe voting is done much earlier. Can someone give us an authoritative statement as to when voting ends? I think it’s either the end of the regular season or the end of conference tourneys. I’m pretty sure it excludes all of the NCAA tourney.

I think it’s close offensively but I think where I give Pheesa the clear nod over Lou is on defense.

It ends after conference tournaments, no NCAA games are taken into account.

How can she be the most versatile when she can't shoot 3s or FTs especially in today's game and don't give me she normally is a good FT shooter. I guess KLS isn't normally a GREAT 3pt shooter.

No way it's close offensively. If you think that KLS couldn't do what Collier does down low if she did it just as much then you're delusional.

Phee has not had a good season from the arc, but her FT shooting is on the rise—77% over the past 5 games. She had lost her stroke, but appears to have found it. She’s above 80% for her career. It’s not accurate to say she can’t shoot FTs.

This is ignorant if you actually believe what you just said. I’m sure 99.9% of this board would agree bc there’s no way she could do what Pheesa does on the block.

We're talking about scoring close to the basket not doing brain surgery.
