Glad for Azzi, especially. Some here wrote her off as a bust as late as last year. Others have continually harped on her being injury prone and unable to create her shot.
- But defenses continue to key in on her — the Steph Curry of her generation.
- And she is in the heat of the conversation as the #1 WNBA draft pick.

how many wins did Flau'jae produce against Raven in her career?
.-.
Nada, nil, zilch etc.!
Before today, for 2025-26, Flau'jae had been selected a Wooden AA, a 2nd-team AA by the Athletic, and a 3rd-team AA by AP, USBWA and The Sporting News. The USBWA AA 3rd-team even had 6 players, to make room for Kiki Rice, but not Raven.
Before today, Raven had been selected an AP 3rd-team AA.
So I was surprised to see Raven selected over Flau'jae by the WBCA, even though the selection is not uncharacteristic for the WBCA.

Not sure how, based on their stats for the season. Flau'jae beat Raven in points and rebounding averages. Raven beat Flau'jae in assists per game, field goal, free throw percentages and assist to turnover ratio (3.41 vs 1.53). Raven earning SEC Defensive Player of the Year probably helped as well.

My only comment would be Kiki Rice should have been on this. Should she replace Raven or Jaloni though, Raven had a GREAT year but the Rice was better.
Here are the Efficiency scores, WinShares and Torvek scores
Flau'jae 13.8/4.3/4.9
Jaloni 22.4/5.7/7.5
Kiki 20.4/6.4/8.2
Raven 13.1/5.0/6.0
No matter how you slice it, Flau'jae is 4th. Kiki is better than both Jaloni and Raven and Jaloni is better than Raven. Though I am thorougly impressed with Raven's shooting this year among her other attributes.
