Finalists Announced for McDonald's Girls Player of the Year!!!

I am stunned that Boykin is on the list. Congrats to her for sure, but very surprised none the less. And I haven't followed the post players of that class much since we weren't a finalist for any of them, but Kalani Brown must be better than I thought for her to be one of hte top 6.

Lastly, I think it's great that Collier's hair is sort of all over the place. I'm guessing they took the pictures either after some sort of Team USA practice, or whatever, but I could see Napheesa saying "I'm busy working on my game. What? You want to take my picture. Ok lemme just pin my hair up. Come on - make it quick!"

I saw DJB a lot over the summer as she played with USA basketball and think she belongs on the list. She was really good in both 5x5 and 3x3.

DJB was very good over the summer but I'm not sure USA basketball play figured into these nominations. Brown did not make USA basketball team this summer. Jessica Shepard did make USA basketball and was consistently ranked higher that Brown at the post position. Curious selction in some cases and the photos are from USA basketball.

Trying to figure out when this notion of Durr not being a team player or not fitting UConn started. Is it because she scores a ton of points in HS? She really has no choice there as she's practically her entire team.

I agree Sluconn, Saniya Chong was a more prolific scorer in HS than Durr and she's had no problems. There are many reasons that players decide they don't want to play at UConn and that's okay.

I agree also that Durr would have excelled at UCONN.
