Message: [QUOTE="YellwJcket999, post: 2365114, member: 7976"] Pretty solid picks Coco. How dare I criticize a list without putting up one of my own. I believe that's the standard or at least it should be. It's difficult call as there is a lot of talent out there. [B][U]1st/1st' Team[/U][/B] G: Jordan Canada, Kia Nurse, Kelsey Mitchell G: Arike Ogunbowale, Asia Durr SF: Napheesa Collier, Katie Lou Samuelson (she is not a guard), Gabby Williams PF: A’ja Wilson, (Azura Stevens), Katie Lou Samuelson C: Mercedes Russell, Monique Billings [U]Comments: [/U] J.Canada is the #1 point guard in America. Her game is very similar to M.Jefferson. She can flat out run the point. An Olympian, National team starter, gold medal winning point guard can't make their list? 1st/2nd/3rd team? The National Defensive Player of the Year, Late Season NPOY watchlist member, a player averaging over 20ppg in the tournament and she can't get a 1st team "pre-season" nod? (or an invite from TeamUSA?) The talent at the point guard position is extremely deep. Between Canada, Nurse and Mitchell you have a MoJeff clone, a Kelsey Plum clone and a great all around guard (great size, great outside shot, a poised experienced floor general who has been tested on the biggest stages). At the shooting guard position there is nothing between Arike and Durr. Outstanding scorers, inside, outside and off the bounce. KLS is not a 2-guard. She can't run with Durr or Ogunbowale. At small forward you have 3 of the Core 4. Pick your poison. These 3 can carry you at least to the FF if not all the way. They are all returning 1st team AA's. Power forward is KLS' position. There is a gap between 1st/1st' Team and everyone else. I believe that for the most part the first and second team are damn near interchangeable. [U][B] 3rd Team[/B][/U] G: Brooke McCarty, Tyasha Harris, Lexie Brown G: Sabrina Ionescu, Chennedy Carter, Ariel Atkins SF: Victoria Vivians, Jamie Nared, B.McPhee PF: Myisha Hines-Allen, Shak Thomas C: Kristine Anigwe, Kalani Brown Chennedy Carter = National Freshman of the Year A'ja Wilson = National Player of the Year. [Only because she doesn't have 4 teammates who are competing against each other for the award] [/QUOTE]
