Paige on Athletic second team All American with Sarah

[vaeman]

This says Paige made first team. So I'm confused

The Athletic made a "change" to the story after the OP started.

Everyone likes to talk about numbers and this is where Paige is penalized for playing for UConn. Where others on the list often play close to 40 minutes a game to get their stats Paige usually does not play in the 4th quarter and sometimes not even the full 3rd. Makes it hard to beat the others gaudy numbers. That is why I think Paige is the best!

Latson: FSU SG-very elite scorer. 25 PPG, even against ranked ACC teams.

Booker: One of many elite freshman from last years class. This year, she hasn’t been as great against Top Competition though. Still Texas’s best/Second best depending how you look at it.

With U of Texas listed as # 1 in some polls, you would assume that some one
on their roster would be listed as an ALL American, no?

I think it's less about minutes and more about the fact that UConn recruits are uniformly unselfish team players who are trained to look for the best shot.....if Paige wanted to score 30 points a game I don't think she'd have a problem doing it simply by becoming a volume shooter....
