Top 10 UCONN players

[mhshuskies]

SNY broadcasting a show on top ten players at UCONN.

MoJeff # 10

 

[DeeHusky]

That’s a rerun or something? This came out last year.

 

[Boreifs]

That show was heavily criticized for leaving out Wolters, who was a National Player of the Year.

I'd go with the following.

1-- Stewart
2-- DT
3-- Maya
4-- Lobo
5-- MoJeff
6-- Bird
7-- Charles
8-- Sales
9-- Bascom
10- Wolters (though I could see Sveta or Rizzo)

 

[UConn82]

What did the show have as its list?

 

[Sonny44]

Perfect top 4.
After that, clearly debatable IMO.

 

[Zanzman]

What did the show have as its list?

Taurasi
Stewart

Jefferson

Taurasi
Stewart
Moore
Bird
Lobo
Charles
Rizzotti
Sales
Bascom
Jefferson

Before Stewie's MVP and Championship. I wonder if she would move ahead of Diana now ??

Sue Bird solidifies her 4th place position.

 

[Zanzman]

This UConn not including wnba

 

[j66kicker]

Taurasi
Stewart
Moore
Bird
Lobo
Charles
Rizzotti
Sales
Bascom
Jefferson

Looks like the right list to me

 

[RogueDave]

Need to expand list to 30 for wall folk and then another list of 20 favorites who made huge contributions to the team without the wall recognition.

 

[Zanzman]

No show was top 10 there should be a cap for discussion

 

[JustinesGuy]

I'd go with the following.

1-- Stewart
2-- DT
3-- Maya
4-- Lobo
5-- MoJeff
6-- Bird
7-- Charles
8-- Sales
9-- Bascom
10- Wolters (though I could see Sveta or Rizzo)

Good list.
I like Bird better than MoJeff.

I’m struggling where I would put Pam Webber, Ann Strouther, Kelly Schumacher, Megan Gardler And Amy Duran.

Did you ever see Rizzotti play?! She was also a National Player of the Year, which should automatically put one on this list. Jefferson ahead of Bird?! Please. Even today, Seattle would never even think of trading Sue Bird for her.

Bird is definitely number five.
CW will be number 6.

 

[Boreifs]

Taurasi
Stewart
Moore
Bird
Lobo
Charles
Rizzotti
Sales
Bascom
Jefferson

Wolters belonged in seventh position as a National Player of the Year. Whomever is knocked off or kept among the remaining three is really a crap shoot. Add Svetlana, and you have a Top 12 with little argument.

 

[Boreifs]

Perfect top 4.
After that, clearly debatable IMO.

Really? I recognize that this is a UConn only list, but Stewart, Charles, Moore, Taurasi and Bird could easily be the starting team for USA Basketball this year with little argument. In terms of career success on all levels, no one else even belongs in the discussion for Top five.

Those five are UConn's all-time starting five. And actually was a starting five for USA basketball a few years ago.

I prefer MoJeff. Her defense was off-the-charts. I think her assist-to-turnover ratio was off-the-charts. So-- she plays tremendous defense, is extremely efficient shooting the ball, and is extremely efficient passing.

IMO it comes down to Bird's ability to score better vs MJ's defense, - and how much one believes Bid "makes others better" while MJ "supposedly" doesn't or "not too much." I take into account transition defense to offense-- that also makes other players better.

1-- I don't think NPOY automatically puts a player on the list. Jenn was great but looking at her sr year she shot 44% from the floor, 27.5 from 3pt range and didn't quite average 2-1 assist to turnover. Yes she was great but imo Bascom leading her team to the final four was a greater accomplishmernt than Jenn's NPOY year.
2-- Regarding Bird and MJ--Are we talking pros or are we talking UCONN? Otherwise why bring up Seattle?
3-- If you want to talk pros by bringing up Bird, then how did players like Rizzotti, Wolters and Lobo do in the pros?

I was considering UCONN performance only.
