In my OP I mentioned how exhausted Paige was after the game.  Today I watched the game telecast.  In the 4th qtr their were closeups of Paige after play stoppages with her hands on her hips, taking one deep breath after another to catch her wind.  As a freshmen, with 3 upperclassmen on the court taking much of the responsibility, Paige's play seemed effortless on her way to being named the consensus NPOY.

Paige is playing so much harder than she ever has before.  This is her team and she is leading it.  Paige is playing out of position at the power forward spot, matched up with opposing Bigs, banging in the post and switching all over the court.  She leads the teams in blocks, is 2nd in rebounds behind Aaliyah and is 2nd in steals, just behind KK.

While Caitlin Clark will be the consensus NPOY, and deservedly so, IMO Paige should be considered for the NDPOY.  On defense she never stops, stays connected with all her teammates, communicates switches and plays on ball defense as tough as anyone in the country.  If there is a better defensive player in WBB than Paige, I haven't seen them.
