Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 5107596, member: 2117"] I'd put Paige comfortably at 1 when you look at her body of work and performance the back half of the season. Juju will be great but I'm not as high on her as others--I thought Hidalgo and Booker were on par with her last year, Juju's scoring was higher as a result of taking a lot more shots than either at a less efficient clip. Players listed 1-5 will all take on different roles this year which will be interesting to watch. Paige will likely be off ball again but will not play the 4 defensively, Booker/Hidalgo will likely be pushed off ball to pave way for Harmon/Miles to return, and Iriafen will play at SC which operates a very different system than Stanford did. Watkins will also likely get fewer shots with TVO and Iriafen on the roster. Paige's move will likely be the most seamless, the others will all be interesting to watch. Going deeper on the list, Betts at 6 seems high while Rice down at 22 seems low. I think both are in the 10-15 range. Beers at 23 seems incredibly undervalued. LSU has 3 in the top 20 and solid pieces to fill out the rest of the roster along with a 4x championship coach but seem to be getting overlooked by everyone in the preseason. South Carolina being the heavy favorite to repeat with almost everyone back from an undefeated team just has 2 on the list, at number 16 and 19. Ashlyn Watkins would be on here too (and probably ranked top 10-15) if she was cleared to play this year. I'd also look for Joyce Edwards to make a big impact if her production in exhibition games is any indication of how her season will go. [/QUOTE]
