Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2564213, member: 2117"] I didn't compare them to Griner, I stated that they were having the most dominant seasons by a center since Griner...big difference. McCowan may not be a lock, but you're underestimating her if you're putting Cox over her. Did you see the game against Oregon where she had 35/19? Or recognize that she's averaging 19/13 for the #2 undefeated team in the country? She's not the most polished post out there, but she definitely makes the 10 man team and either 1st or 2nd on the AP team. If McCowan doesn't get a spot, then Vivians should. If they're undefeated or a 1 loss team with 2 major standouts, they should get at least 1 spot on 1st Team IMO. I also do not think Mitchell is a lock for 1st team at all. Her team is underperforming and while her numbers are good, both Durr and Samuelson are having better seasons than her IMO. She may get it due to her reputation, but she's no better than 2nd team at this point. So, that still puts 1 UCONN player on the top team. Carter absolutely belongs in the discussion of making a team. She's the best player on the #14 team and is averaging 21 points and 5 assists per game. Some of her games have been concerning regarding her shot selection and decision making, but to say she's not in the discussion of making 3rd doesn't seem right to me. I'm not concerned about the preseason rankings. The AP went 3/5 last year, 3/5 in 2016, 3/5 in 2015. Mine is 2/5, but if there is a switch I'd bet we'd see Mitchell jump Ionescu or McCowan rather Williams making 1st team at this point. [/QUOTE]
