Caitlin Clark wins Dawn Staley Award (merged thread)

It's fine with me - she's a very deserving player.

There's really only one more thing I want to see them bring home....😋

Maybe... but she did get a little verklempt in the video from this past Monday when she got the AP player of the year award.

Wonderful word choice, Jackalope. So much of Yiddish has entered the American language, and here you are adding another useful and popular term.
PS/Verklempt means getting very emotional.

I’m not sure that (“Paige-lite”) is a fair statement. Caitlin is a fabulous player, just different from Paige. I’m sure Paige is thrilled for her friend.

I think Paige is more than just different, she is better in many key stats, and deserves the award more. She leads Clark by a lot in many statistical areas. In assist to turner over ratio Bueckers is #30 (not bad for a freshman) while Clark is #151. On field goal percentage Bueckers is #31 while Clark is again well back in the pack at #101. I like Clark but come on.

Zero shade toward Clark since she's been spectacular but this award seems like a joke to me.

Kelsey Mitchell and Asia Durr are winners despite never being point guards, Sims won while playing SG, and Harris won it last year over Ionescu which made zero sense IMO.

Not all that different. Both can score and can dish.

Thought for the day: Can you be a once in a lifetime player if there are two of you?

happy for Caitlin, but does not make sense fir any guard to win any national player of the year award over the NPOY. Of course it the national team championship award that matters most. May Paige take our Huskies s there!

We will be watching CC and Paige together on Team USA for a long, long time.
 
IMO they have gone overboard with all these awards! Just start handing out partipation trophies. Imagine if the CFB handed out rewards for each position.

Right well it's not a point guard award so zero shade to you but I don't know what you're talking about.

Fair, I just checked and it's best all around guard. I thought it was a PG award.
