Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2086213, member: 26"] I still don't get all the hype for Wilson. She's barely on my 2nd team AA, not anywhere close to discussion for NPOY. A prime example of a player who has all kinds of "hype and publicity", but has not performed nearly well enough if you really drill down into the results required for elite consideration. Players off the top of my head who have played better and have better stats: Kelsey Plum KLS Collier Alexis Peterson Kristin Anigwe Tori Jankowska Nia Coffey Brionna Jones Brittany Sykes Taniya Page Katija Laska Asia Durr Shatori Walker-Kimbrough Lexi Brown Wilson is not even in the top 50 in the nation in scoring average. I get it's not all about scoring, but if you look at the list of above players and their respective rebounds, or assists, or steals, etc etc, all of them have combined stats better than Wilson's. She was averaging close to 16 PPG for most of the year. I think she upped that and has come on strong lately, but let's face it - 17.7 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 59% FG%. Put those numbers on any other "lesser named" player and people would be like "All American? Umm No"... [/QUOTE]
