Message: [QUOTE="DallasBUFan, post: 2514953, member: 8347"] I will say at first I disagreed with this idea then it got me to thinking. We are very one dimensional when it comes to this voting and it just seems to be based on points and rebounds etc. Like player of the week. Teams like UConn, Baylor, ND, etc aren't top programs riding just one or two players. Any given night any of the 5 starters can be your leading scorer. I wish they looked at consistently, minutes played, etc rather than the basics points, rebounds, assists, etc. Someone like Wilson, Mitchell, and Durr can easily be players of the year because the starters aren't as balanced in form of talent and scorers. SC depends on Willson wayyy to much and they get the ball to her because that is how they win. UConn can usually rest easy knowing that if KLS isn't on that night it may be Williams, Collier, or whoever to be a scorer. They also can have a night where 4-5 players all average over 10 points and not just have that one player that is the star every game. Brown is the big name on BU however if you look at her numbers she is very consistent scoring typically 13-24 pts a game. On a night where she is scoring only 13 points is a night where 3-4 others also scored that much if not more. I really like the idea of looking at players on really good teams where everyone on the team is capable of scoring just like the so called star does. However, just because she is the biggest player on the team doesn't mean she is carrying the weight of rebounding. Where if Wilson isn't notching double doubles then SC either lost or had a super close game. However, I am not saying she doesn't deserve to be a 1st team AA, but that players on more balanced teams that stay consistent throughout the whole season deserve a chance to get an AA nod. When she hits the WNBA she won't be the star every night, why? Because those teams are more balanced. [/QUOTE]
