Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 2558182, member: 7093"] For me, it is Gabby. Firstly, because her talent is so extraordinary and was, to many, largely unexpected. There is no one better driving to the hoop ( right or left ); there is no one who can make such exceptionally perfect passes for assists; her court awareness ( where her teammates are at any given second) is the best; she is disruptive to the other team all over the court while, at the same time, able to compete for rebounds with players as good ( and big ) as A'jai Wilson ( who will be the number one pick of the WNBA). Watching Gabby has simply been a thrill. Her speed, her confidence, and her ability to control the ball are wonders to behold. And when she hits that outside shot ( as she did yesterday ), there is no one better. She also sets a standard for the term, " hustle." And now, she is playing at less than 100% physically ( hip strain ) but who could tell? Of all the amazing talents that have worn the UCONN uniform, there is no one I have enjoyed watching play as much as Gabby. I am uneasy, knowing that senior night will be upon us soon. I must also say, I give a vote for Kia Nurse. Steady, strong, reliable and excellent at everything. Our best one on one defender for 40 minutes. Fantastic on the fast break. And now, leading the country in converting "3's". She is simply wonderful. A rock. A teammate and leader for the ages. Really tough. And don't get me started on Katy Lou. Her pre-game smile and confidence, joined with a look of intensity at critical moments, do not detract from her ability to make the biggest play at the most critical moment. Note to editor: I do believe that many of the great players in the past suffer in my response from the distance of time and faded memory. I mean, Stewie? Sue Bird? Maya? Diana? There is no end to the incredible talent we have witnessed. But I do believe I would always answer Gabby to your inquiry. [/QUOTE]
