Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3033468, member: 5823"] There is one line in Carl's article which is very accurate and might regretfully ultimately cost Napheesa the NPOY award: [I]"But Collier is a quiet one, though her actions speak loudly." [/I] This is not the first time that Napheesa was being overlooked for such awards. In 2015 I believe it was [USER=3537]@DavidinNaples[/USER] who made the case that Collier should have been named MVP of the FIBA U19 tournament-that award ultimately went to A'Ja Wilson. Napheesa's historically efficient sophomore season reference above [USER=5089]@Sluconn Husky[/USER] only amounted her be named AAC Co-player of the year. While being co-player in any conference is a great accomplishment it does not help when a co-POY is competing for national awards. It is a function of this short attention span, sports center age we are living in, where consistent, great, and quiet will likely lose out to occasionally great and loud. [/QUOTE]
