In Imho a very important stat is minutes played per game.
Could you provide these numbers, if you have them easily available.
I think minutes per game is telling, as with Lucy Olsen with her PPG and
MPG and high-volume shooting. Is your thought that MORE minutes
per game speaks against a FINALIST candidate or that the extra
minutes implies the player's greater IMPORTANCE to their team?
The same idea can be discussed under Paige and her Finalist selection
for SHOOTING GUARD. Paige is a "Total Basketball Player" and
rather "EFFICIENT", and I find it hard to make an honest comparison
with those other Finalists who are " HIGH VOLUME" shooters. One
could argue that the "SHOOTING GUARD" position is defined as
a HIGH VOLUME, High PPG person. And of course, PAIGE is
playing " OUT OF POSITION". I would like Aaliyah to win the McClaine
award. Paige could win, but... So, I will let the NCAA tournament
and NEXT YEAR display the TALENT THAT IS PAIGE! GO PAIGE! GO Aaliyah!
Go HUSKIES! NOTE: THERE IS STILL FAN VOTING FOR THESE AWARDS.
