Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2045907, member: 26"] Thanks a latte, OC! I appreciate you doing the stats crunching. To the other BY'ers - I'm NOT saying Gabby is undeserving. Hell, I'd put KLS and Pheesa on the 1st team and Gabby on the 2nd team in a heartbeat, and all 3 of them should be ahead of Wilson (for example). But... I'm not only a fan who has seen her play every single game (so I KNOW her worth), I'm also looking at her thru UCONN colored glasses, no matter how objective I try to be. Gabby has tremendous stats across the board for a forward, EXCEPT for scoring which has been inconsistent. That's simply a fact. Now people can argue intangibles, or whatever, all they want - I'm on board - I would vote Gabby as an AA. I just don't think the voters will UNLESS she goes on a tear and averages at least 20-25 PPG the rest of the season. A lot of the voting IMHO is reputation, politics, inertia, etc etc. Wilson is a "cachet" name. People assume she's great because she's physically gifted, and so everyone just assumes she's deserving. Her numbers do not make her deserving, though. On a 10 player team she should not be on it (or barely make 2nd team). As a post player, her stats aren't close to Anigwe (Cal), Jones (Maryland), Coffey (Northwestern) or Collier (UCONN) just off the top of my head, but voters don't necessarily use logic. [/QUOTE]
