Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2576704, member: 7492"] In this case your handle fits your post. Kia took ONE 3-pt shot. She moved well and set plenty of screens for KLS to run of off in the 1st Half. She was relentless on defense against Durr, who I hope many on here have a stronger appreciation for and know now why Geno recruited her and why she split some HS NPOY awards with KLS. She didn't get flustered (ahem-Laksa, ahem) and also played defense against Kia very well. The announcers picked up on this and noted Kia's defense and is why Holly Rowe interviewed Kia after the game. Will AA voters acknowledge this? Some will, some won't but I get your jist as defense doesn't look as sexy as 26 pts, 3 rebs, 3 assist, 1 block. Kia did have 4 assists so she did participate on the offense. On Napheesa, she had some good highlights and some %&*@#! moments in the second half when the offense was working the clock and trying to get Z the ball to utilize her height and post moves. 14pts, 3 assists, 6 reb, 3 steals and 1 block is showing up. All that said-HOW ABOUT KLS FOR MAKING A STATEMENT ON PLAYER OF THE YEAR??? I still think she's still trailing Wilson but she drew closer last night. When is the next Wooden watch list due out? I really like this team and hope we all enjoy their remaining games this year. [/QUOTE]
