Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3810661, member: 2117"] Who ya got? [B]Player of the Year:[/B] Rhyne Howard, Kentucky. Howard has been every bit as good a year later and just looks like the smoothest and best player every time she steps on the court. Kentucky has the pieces to make a Final Four push, but Howard is the engine behind the team and has been fantastic this year. [B]Freshman of the Year: [/B]Paige Bueckers, UCONN. Bueckers is one of the most polished freshmen offensively the game has ever seen. Incredibly effective and efficient offensively and the clear standout from a team loaded with talent. Had she had big games against Louisville and Baylor, she'd be a realistic POY candidate right now. [B]Coach of the Year:[/B] Tara Vanderveer, Stanford. Stanford looks like the clear cut #1 team at this point of the season. It's hard to differentiate coaches with only a handful of games but I'd give Tara the nod, partially as a career award too for passing Pat and becoming #1 all time for wins. Other standouts so far are Wes Moore, Brenda Frese, and I'll throw some love towards Kim Barnes-Arico. [B]Defensive Player of the Year: [/B]Aari McDonald, Arizona. This has for sure recency biased attached, but McDonald is cat quick and an absolute nightmare for slower point guards. Her presence defensively completely rattled Oregon yesterday and she's always a steady presence defensively. [B]All American Teams:[/B] 1st Team: Rhyne Howard-Kentucky Haley Jones-Stanford Dana Evans-Louisville Naz Hillmon-Michigan Paige Bueckers-UCONN 2nd Team: Michaela Onyenwere-UCLA Nalyssa Smith-Baylor Aari McDonald-Arizona Charli Collier-Texas Elissa Cunane-NC State 3rd Team: Chelsea Dungee-Arkansas Aliyah Boston-South Carolina Ashley Joens-Iowa State Ashley Owusu-Maryland Caitlin Clark-Iowa [B]All Freshman Team:[/B] 1st Team: Paige Bueckers-UCONN Caitlin Clark-Iowa Tehina Pao Pao-Oregon Hailey Van Lith-Louisville Kamila Cardoso-Syracuse 2nd All Freshman Team: Charlisse Leger-Walker, Washington State Cameron Brink-Stanford Diamond Johnson-Rutgers Olivia Cochran-Louisville Maddy Westbeld-Notre Dame [/QUOTE]
