Message: [QUOTE="BigTenGuy, post: 4866061, member: 12979"] JuJu Watkins has no business, as of today, being a 5-player 1st or 2nd-Team AA. The Athletic's voters blundered badly. In conference play, Watkins has struggled mightily, unlike the other 9 players on the Athletic's Mid-Season AA Teams. The other 4 players on their 1st-Team AA team are 1st, 2nd or 3rd within their respective conferences in conference play Win Shares. This makes sense. To be an AA, you should be one of the very best performers in your conference. Similarly, 4 of the 5 players on the Athletic's 2nd-Team AA are top 4 within their respective conferences in conference play Win Shares, and Ayoka Lee is 6th, even though she has missed 3 conference games with injury. Watkins is 13th in the Pac-12 in conference play Win Shares, which makes her quite a stretch for an AA team. Watkins has shot the ball very poorly in conference play. There are 31 players in the Pac-12 averaging 10 or more points in conference play. Watkins is dead last among those 31 in EFG%, and 30th in FG%. Her conference play EFG% of 38.5% is nowhere close to the conference-play shooting performance of the 2 other volume-scoring guards on the First Team, Caitlin Clark (62.7%) and Hannah Hidalgo (50%), and nowhere close to the even more efficient Paige Bueckers, who's place Watkins took on the First Team. If Watkins' poor shooting in conference play continues, the real question might become whether Watkins is even a top 5 player in the Pac-12. Iriafen, Brink, Beers and Pili are having really strong conference seasons. [ATTACH type="full"]95853[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
