Player of the year

I'm pretty sure the vote takes place before the NCAAs, but after the conference tourneys. I think it is too early to say who will win, but I think Griner has the advantage. Will having Sims on her team hurt her in the voting? Some of the team's success is due to Odyssey. If Baylor finishes undefeated, I think Griner wins. I'm holding my vote and still considering 3 players. The season is less than half over.

No to be a smart ass but I don't see any of our girls putting up those kind of numbers against some of the cupcakes we play.

maybe because they aren't relied as heavily upon, as stanford leans on nneka, even for cupcakes...

I'm sure Nneka's skills have been seen or done before, otherwise the US national team would invite her to attend the senior team.... she's not there yet, maybe after this year... oh wait that's when she would normally qualify... for the national team.

Griner is already on the Senior National Team because of her skill set, which changes the game on both ends of the floor..

its an obvious to most people outside of Palo Alto.

But we are arguing POY. Griner's D is much more impressive than any advantage you may think Nneka has on offense. You cannot make a POY decision based on offense alone. Griner is possibly the best combination of offensive skill and defensive skill that women's basketball has ever seen.

even last year... when we compared Moore to Griner... it was obvious then... that Moore was simply more amazing of a player....hence she won POY... hands down...

Griner is that player this year...

i think after stanfords weaker team is exposed with a loss from an unranked foe, or early tournament exit, people will think it was funny people even considered it.

Nneka will get her well-deserved recognition when she goes #1 to the WNBA.
