Napheesa certainly has the stats to merit such acknowledgement. Not saying Kia deserves the spotlight here but I do think some BY'ers still tend to overlook or simply dismiss the importance of the defensive pressure she has consistently  put on an opponent, usually an opponent's best player, all year long. Defense is rarely much of a consideration when polls such as this one are taken. I think next year, if a game happens to be on the line because the other team's best shooter is draining 3's, the light bulb will finally go on for some.  And it's not just Kia; Gabby will be sorely missed on the defensive end as well. I look forward to seeing who steps up to take their places at the same level of play. Funny, but as a 4-year starter Kia performed in the shadow of Stewie, MoJeff, and Tuck in her first two years (all All-Americans), and has often performed in the shadow of Lou, Gabby, and Pheesa (all All-Americans) the last two years. Yet she has been the single constant.
