Nika Muhl Named Nancy Lieberman Award Finalist

Other finalists include:

Caitlin Clark (Iowa), Olivia Miles (Notre Dame), Lauren Park-Lane (Seton Hall) and McKenna Hofschild (Colorado State).
Perhaps she hasn't played enough games to qualify, but I'd probably have Rori Harmon ahead of Park-Lane, as much as the latter has been a thorn in the Huskies in past years.
 
She’s an atypical PG, different from Cousy, Bird, Sloot, et al. She’s a shoot-first PG.
Sorry, Milford, she is not just a shoot-first guard. Watch Iowa play... she takes 19 shots per game, not 35 or 40. If she sees a lane to the hoop she'll take it and sometimes she feels the 3, but she is always looking to see what teammates are open.

So the Big-O was one of the best “atypical“ point guards of all time. I don’t think the qualifier is needed.
 
I think it would be a marvelous irony if Nika Muhl were to win the Dawn Staley award. I would be tuned in to hear Dawn's reaction if that happened.

Come to think of it, there is a lot of similarity in their personalities.
