LOL.  I don't dispute that Azura MAY end up being the best player on the team, but IMHO it's unfair to our returning All Americans, who were also selected preseason 1st team, to suddenly anoint a kid who's never played a non-exhibition game in a UCONN uniform as the "best player on the team".

Just for perspective... as a sophomore, she averaged 31+ MPG, 18.9 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 1.3 APG and 1.7 BPG.

Last year both Lou and Napheesa  (sophomores) averaged more than 20 PPG in roughly the same minutes per game (30-32), Collier had 9 RPG (less), and more blocks, steals, and assists than Azura.  Lou obviously had less boards and blocks, but many more assists.

Oh, and on Duke, only 1 other player averaged double figures scoring.  On UCONN we had 4.  That means Z carried much more of the scoring and was the primary option.  At UCONN, it was much more spread out.

Anyhoo.. How blessed are we that we get to have these debates/discussions anyway?!!!!  :)
