Agree 100%.  Wilson is a great player but I don't think there's anything unique about her game.  She's a classic 4 with a great motor.  Her skill set, athleticism, and frame perfectly suit that role, and it's why she'll be the #1 pick in the draft.  Reminds me a bit of Tina Charles her senior year, before Tina developed as a facilitator in the pros.  Great physical post player, high motor, good shot blocker, can beat opposing posts off the dribble from 15 feet, okay midrange game, lacks elite ball handling and passing skills. Very good player, arguably the best in the country, but nothing particularly unique about her game.

Unique players to me have to do something different that other players just don't.  Whether it be great all around skills, inside out ability, unique physical ability, etc.

Game changing unique standouts include players like Griner, Stewart, Moore, EDD, Parker, Holdsclaw, Courtney Paris, Taurasi, and Tamika Catchings.  Players who weren't game changers but were unique in their ability include Gabby Williams, Stefanie Dolson, Chantel Osahor, Nicky Anosike, Deanna Nolan, Amber Harris, Armintie Price, Janel McCarville, Ticha Penicheiro, etc.
