Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3285491, member: 2117"] 1. Transforming a program from not making the NCAA tournament to steadily improved results each year. Has culminated in: 3 Elite 8s 1 Final Four 2 Pac 12 Regular season titles 1 Pac 12 Tournament Championship Steadily improved results each year. Of the players above, only Angel and Diggins can claim to have elevated their programs in a similar manner, but Oregon has been more of a powerhouse than Louisville was with Angel, and Notre Dame was a Sweet 16 team before Diggins. Oregon was a WNIT team before Ionescu and has become a Final Four team and preseason #1 squad 4 years later. Sabrina has been the clear centerpiece of all 3 teams she's been on. Not the case for most players listed above. 2. Awards: She's likely going to be a 2x National Player of the Year, joining the likes of Stewart, Parker, Moore, and Augustus. As it stands right now, she has the following awards with 1 season left to go and she is likely going to add a lot of hardware: -National Player of the Year -2x Nancy Lieberman Award Winner -2x Pac 12 POY -NCAA Regional MVP -Pac 12 Tournament MVP -National FOY No one you listed is going to have near the accolades Sabrina will when she finishes at Oregon. Even now, I'd say only Sims/Diggins/Angel can really compare when looking at individual awards over a career. And that's with Sabrina not playing a minute of basketball as a senior. 3. Statistics: Sabrina is likely going to finish her career with over 2500 points, 1000 assists and 1000 rebounds. No one has ever had 2000/1000/1000, and the only person with 2000 points and 1000 assists is Vandersloot. She already owns the NCAA record for triple doubles with 2x as many the 2nd place person. Other players like Plum/Sims/Mitchell have high scoring, Sloot was an assist machine at a good mid major, and Angel had some ridiculous numbers but all pale compared to Ionescu. 4. Consistency: As noted above, year after year Sabrina has been the centerpiece of her team and performed at a high level. Most other players took more time to become a star player, or have had disappointing seasons along the way, whether it be poor team results or mediocre individual play. No one has brought it their first 3 years like Sabrina has. 4. Eye test: Watch an average game of hers vs. an average game from anyone you listed...there's no comparison. She impacts the game at such a different level than almost all of the players you listed. [/QUOTE]
