Message: [QUOTE="Grad1990, post: 2046026, member: 7865"] I would think the more comprehensive metric; Pts + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocks - Turnovers, would paint a more complete story. Most coaches and writers who vote know that even these metrics don't tell the whole story with Gabby Williams. At the moment she is in a league of her own. As one poster previously and correctly pointed out, the PoY often does not have the most impressive numbers. Breanna Stewart is the latest example. Coaches and writers across America know that if Gabby (and Napheesa) played more minutes, their already impressive numbers would be staggering. Gabby is the de facto PoY. No one changes games like she does. Using a complete set of metrics, no one, at the level UConn plays, has the overall impact on a game that she has. On the same court as UConn in a game, players like Plum, Wilson, Mitchell and most of the rest of them would be hard pressed to show as the 3rd or 4rth best player on the court. Both Gabby and Napheesa are All Americas based on their body of work, impact on their games, and UConn's overall success. At this point, PoY is Gabby's to lose. Lou gets second team AA. While she is the most versatile and prolific scorer on the team, the other areas of her game have not yet been developed to the extent Gabby's and Pheesa's have. [/QUOTE]
