Message: [QUOTE="Los24, post: 2014093, member: 7629"] I know I will get pounded for this and I am not saying Coates is better than Wilson because she is not, but who is having a better season for their team (not most talented or upside?) Coates has more steals, much better FG%, blows her away on rebounds, blocks are very close, assists are close but A'ja has many more turnovers. A'ja has Coates on points and slight edge in free throw percentage. I tell you what, for this year I am not blown away by 16.9 and 7.6 rebound avg with less than 2.0 avg assist a game while shooting under 70% from stripe for best player in country. Plum's year is much better and its not just points, but for a team that struggles to score it would be nice to see the best player in the country score more or get more assists to impact the offense. Regarding UConn, again based on performance this year, you can argue a case for each Lou, Pheese and Gabby. [B]For comparisons and time I will just use Pheese. More points (19.2 vs 16.9), way better FG% (66.5% vs 56.9%), more rebs (8.1 vs 7.6), blocks are closer than you would think (32 vs 36), less turnovers (28 vs 40), way more steals (30 vs 18), more assists (36 vs 30), better free throw % (78.3% vs 68.9%) and Pheese can hit from 3 (42% vs 1 shot taken and missed.) [/B] [U][B]So why would anyone say A'ja is better than Pheese? Because she is taller? (BTW at this point in time UCONN still has the best strength of schedule. We packed in the best opponents upfront, no one as tough as Duke though : - )[/B][/U] ## Player gp-gs min avg fg-fga fg% 3fg-fga 3fg% ft-fta ft% off def tot avg pf dq a to blk [B]stl[/B] pts avg 22 WILSON, A'ja 17-17 450 26.5 107-188 . 5 6 9 0-1 . 0 0 0 73-106 . 6 8 9 46 84 130 7.6 39 1 30 40 36 [B]18[/B] 287 16.9 41 COATES, Alaina 19-19 520 27.4 98-149 . 6 5 8 0-0 . 0 0 0 64-96 . 6 6 7 69 141 210 11.1 41 0 27 24 32 [B]26[/B] 260 13.7 ## Player GP-GS Min--Avg FG-FGA Pct 3FG-FGA Pct FT-FTA Pct Off Def Tot Avg PF FO A TO Blk Stl Pts Avg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 33 Samuelson, Katie Lo 19-19 603 31.7 144-287 .502 69-150 .460 58-70 .829 18 58 76 4.0 30 0 51 38 6 30 415 21.8 24 [URL='http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/napheesa_collier_974866.html']Collier, Napheesa[/URL].. 19-19 560 29.5 151-227 .665 8-19 .421 54-69 .783 48 106 154 8.1 42 2 36 28 32 35 364 19.2 15 [URL='http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/gabby_williams_914048.html']Williams, Gabby[/URL].... 19-19 538 28.3 99-179 .553 1-4 .250 34-50 .680 56 108 164 8.6 35 0 102 47 23 54 233 12.3 [/QUOTE]
