The Phoenix Club of Philadelphia Announces the 2021 Dawn Staley Award Finalists

The Phoenix Club of Philadelphia Announces its Finalists for this year’s Dawn Staley Award
www.dawnstaleyaward.org www.dawnstaleyaward.org

Rhyne Howard - University of Kentucky
Paige Bueckers - University of Connecticut
Dana Evans - University of Louisville
Caitlin Clark - University of Iowa
Arella Guirantes - Rutgers University

I don't see Paige winning, probably Dana Evans or Rhyne Howard will win.
 
Don't know and in prior years, I haven't been able to find out. Perhaps if you send an email they would let you know.

The Dawn Staley Award

The Dawn Staley Award is given to the most outstanding collegiate guard in the country; a player who exemplifies the skills that Dawn possessed during her career (ball handling, scoring, her ability to distribute the basketball and her will to win)

Yeah, maybe it's time to let someone else win, but ... you going to bet against her?

These awards are a bit disconnected. If you're the POY as a guard, aren't you also the best guard? If there's a better guard, you're not the POY.
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn who wins these things. But the concept of spreading awards around only makes sense if the awards wind up in the hands of the best player at her position. The value of the award is diminished if anyone but PB wins it--nothing else is logical.
Oh, and I still care mucho mas about the NC. Can't share that.

I have also found it interesting. Paige is AP player of the year, but she and Clark WBCA CO-freshmen of the year. Paige is first-team AP all-American, Caitlin is second-team, Caitlin wins the Dawn Staley award.

But I don't think these seeming contradictions in the awards diminish them at all. They're different committees, possibly with different ordering of criteria. The evaluations are all subjective.

if you were to ask PB I'm sure she would say that the only award that matters is the National Championship
