Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3366080, member: 2117"] I don't think a title for a Final Four is a pre-requisite, but when making these teams I consider individual success/accolades, talent level, statistics, ability to lead a team to success, and their play in big games. In these areas, EDD is obviously a standout in the first 3 but falls short in the last two. To be honest, I really didn't see that many games of EDD in college and I'm willing to bet very few people saw more than a few of her games, if any, when she was in college. Her program never faced anyone of note and was rarely ever on TV. This was also before games were consistently broadcast on the internet. At the collegiate level we never saw her prove she was an elite player because she didn't compete against elite competition. It'd be different if we saw her compete against top players and prove she was the best player on the court in big games, but that never happened. Had she chosen to go to a more prestigious school, she probably would be a lock for first team based on how well she has done post-college, but fact is, her program really wasn't relevant or spoken about much in the landscape of women's basketball until her senior season. Based on that, I can't understand the logic of choosing her over Wilson for a WCBB All-Decade team when A'ja accomplished pretty much everything she could during her career on a team and individual level (besides a win over UCONN).
