Correct, the most overused and meaningless term in sports today.

“The generational player of this year is . . . “

Hidalgo and Booker will both still have a chance to be a 4 time All-American, whether it’s first or second team, and that’s nothing to take lightly.

I too think that Juju will leave after next year.

I agree about JuJu, especially with the new W CBA where the minimum salary will significantly rise to $300k. The sooner she gets to the W, the sooner she can get a Max contract (which grows to $2 million by the end of the deal)

Interestingly enough both Herhoopsstats had Lauren with 5.6 Win Shares and Bart Torvik 6.9 while her team mate Kiki Rice was worth more to the UCLA team than Betts with 6.4 Win Shares and A Torvik value of 8.2. So the “generational” player wasn’t even the best on her own team…

For comparison, Sarah had 8.5 WS and 7.6 Torvik whil Azzi had 6.6 WS and 6.7 Torvik….

Not to mention we've just had Ionescu, Plum, and Clark in the last few seasons.
