You may be right about the points. My guess is Azzi Serah and Sarah will probably each average just north of 16 pts/gm. Maybe one of them approaches 20 pts. I think someone can win the NPOY while averaging under 20 points, especially if they put up other big numbers. That scenario seems pretty descriptive of Sarah.

For Azzi, it’s a different story. She has never gotten big assist or rebound numbers and her turnover numbers have not been nearly as good as Paige’s. Her path to a possible NPOY will have to come from putting up big scoring numbers. If she is perceived as the driver of the offense, the bucket-getter like Paige against Oklahoma, and maybe puts up efficient numbers, like 50/40/90, she could have a shot. The numbers she put up against SC (twice) and UCLA are excellent examples. It’s not about scoring 30+ every night. She only scored 19 pts against UCLA, but all in the first half, and when she was done, that game was effectively over. This has been a pattern throughout her career, big games decided by eruptions of scoring that happen in a single quarter.
