Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2563645, member: 2117"] Agreed in regards to Nurse. She's not nearly as dynamic offensively as most players on the list--offensively she primarily roams around on the perimeter, takes catch and shoot open looks, hits breakaway layups and sets picks. No dribble penetration, attacking the glass or creating for others. She's not a player who is going to take the last shot in the game unless you draw up a play for her to get an open look. She has a very defined role at UCONN, so you can't fault her for the lack of creativity, but at the same time she doesn't stand out like a lot of players. In her favor, she is extremely efficient and is also a very strong defender, so I think she should be an AA this year, but she's not 1st team material. Skill wise, Gabby Williams is absolutely a 1st team All American. She does everything well besides shooting perimeter shots. Great ball handling, aggressive rebounding, finishes inside, can hit shots 15 feet and in, creates for others, has good vision, etc. Not to mention she is a world class athlete and defender. However, she has been streaky all year. She's had some very good games, but she's also disappeared in several, and there are far more than 5 players in women's basketball having better seasons than Gabby at this point which is why I don't think she should be on 1st team, or 2nd team for that matter.
