Women’s College Basketball Final Overall Player Rankings for 2016/2017 – Class by Class!

Juniors Gabby Ranked 10th and Kia Ranked 17th. Definitely don't agree. If you're looking at PPG, maybe.

Sophomores Katie-Lou and Napheesa Co-Ranked #1

Freshmen: Crystal Ranked 9th.

The junior rankings are a hot mess. Aja Wilson is the only one I would even consider above Gabby. KIA should be top ten.

Except for the sophomore rankings is this what they call a Fake News site?

She lost me on the first scroll-down. Is it too much trouble for her to spell "Wiese" and "Akhator" correctly?

ETA: But I give her props because her top-5 freshmen are the same as mine.

Porter at Missouri is a sophomore. She came in with Sophie Cunningham.

 

[MilfordHusky]

So, Lou and Pheesa share yet another award. They really are twins.

Evidently I feel asleep and woke up in the Twilight Zone. In my old world, I thought I saw Gabby outplay the top 3 players on the Junior List in head to head matchups AND those matchup weren't even close. Even though Turner came alive a bit in the late 3rd quarter to finish with decent numbers, authorities are still looking for Gabby as she stole Turners lunch money...I do wonder on what basis the evaluations were predicated.

I remember all the Asia Durr hoopla.

Was she worth the hype?

Durr has had an outstanding year by any measure: 18.8 ppg and shooting over 40% from 3.

UConn players are at a disadvantage on this kind of list because the Huskies are typically unselfish and are surrounded by great players, so their individual stats are relatively modest (except maybe assists) compared to what they would be if they played on almost any other team. A strong player who is on a team with mediocre players often looks much better stat-wise and in relative importance to her team . How many teams would have pulled a player who had hit 10 straight threes? How many points and assists would a certain 5'5" Freshman have scored on any other team in the country? What would the stats look like for a player who makes almost 50% of her shots, 40% of her threes, 80% from the free throw line, is a precise passer and and plays excellent Defense if she was something other than a "mere" 5th starter?

It makes it all the more impressive that Lou and Pheesa are still at the top of their list. In reality Gabby and Crystal would (should) be higher if the list was based on quality of play rather than stats

Nice. Good stuff.

I guess it worked out for all

Asia Durr had some injuries and the usual freshman adjustment last year. This year, she may have been the best player on her team. She has had a nice season.

Actually, I think it's extremely rare for any team, even the ones with "selfish" players, to have 2 players averaging 20+ ppg each. Heck, for UConn it's extremely rare to have even one player averaging over 20.

I can't say I know enough about other team's players, but I really believe Gabby and Kia are too low on this list.

Also, just to nitpick, on the Sophomore list, since Pheesa and KLS are tied in first place, the next player's rank should be 3. and not 2., and so on down the list.

Durr had a very good freshman year as well and was "placed" ahead of KLS on preseason AA lists. Well, we see how that has worked out. Now Destiny Slocam started out better than Crystal Dangerfield before Kia was hurt. We are now seeing a more confident Crystal Dangerfield and my guess is her evolution will also propell her past Destiny, who is still a very good player, just won't be as good as Crystal Dangerfield
