As we near the season’s midpoint, it struck me that many of the top-performing players nationally man the post position for their teams. It could make the positional award (Lisa Leslie) for best center interesting. It’s probably Boston’s (incumbent two-time winner and likely NPOY), but I wanted to point out how much talent there is at the 5 spot this year:

  • Aliyah Boston, SC
  • Elizabeth Kitley, VA Tech
  • Elissa Cunane, NC State
  • Tamari Key, Tennessee
  • Ayoka Lee, Kansas State
  • Mackenzie Holmes, Indiana
  • Jenna Staiti, Georgia
Just narrowing this list to five finalists (which I believe happens around conference tournament time) will be interesting. I am guessing it will be the first five listed, but it’s early still.

As a side note, it’s always interesting to me how these positional lists are constructed. Michigan’s Hillmon is listed as a 4, but she’s as much a traditional 5 to me as one can be: limited range beyond paint, glass cleaner, incredibly efficient.

Just something that crossed my mind. Curious to hear others’ thoughts!

Not sure who you would remove, but Cubaj from GaTech deserves to be on a list. I guess her scoring totals are too low.

Pure Boston fan but

Ayoka Lee’s performance this year has been stunning.

Not giving up on Liv. Alot of improvement I think but game against OR will be a real test

I agree with the OP that the first fiv listed will probably be the finalists. I personally would replace Cunane with Holmes.

It’s Boston’s to lose, though, so it’s all moot.
