Message: [QUOTE="Los24, post: 2115040, member: 7629"] So here are my final thoughts on this topic. Both are great players and are both unique. Gabby impacts the game defensively as good as anyone in the game. Same could be said of Plum on offense. Both are very effective on the other side of the ball too, making them complete players. However, Plum leads her team in all the areas on her side of the ball and some on the other. Plus she leads the NATION too. Gabby does not lead in rebounds or blocks, two major defensive areas (her strength side.) Nor is she close to leading the nation. You can argue foul trouble early on and easier in conference games that have her out towards end of game. But nationally Lou is in tops range in scoring and 3pt makes. Napheese is tops range in scoring, FG% and leads team on multiple categories for both sides of the ball. I also think that while we need all our players to win it all, we would still have an outside chance if one of of our starters go down, including Pheese, KLS, Kia and Gabby. If Plum goes down, they have ZERO chance. Also, the opposing teams always make Plum the #1 initiave. While Gabby (or Pheese or KLS) is one of our focal points she cant be the only focus. If anyone gets the most attention totarget to stop. For UConn it is KLS, then Pheese. Point is that Plum helps her team too by getting most of the attention, thus there are stats for offense that are not showing up on the stat sheet. Lastly, there is the DT (confidence factor.) After seeing and more importantly listening to Plum, she is they leader and inspires confidence in her team to go out and win. I believe Gabby does too, but not to the same degree.... Last comment. If Gabby keeps shooting the way she has in the past couple of games and brings a consistent outside mid-range shot to her game, I would make her my favorite to be POY. [/QUOTE]
