Gabby’s easily one of the 5 best players in the country, but All American awards are given to who has had the best season...very different criteria.  10.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2.5 steals isn’t 1st team worthy IMO.  People mention her defense, but she didn’t win DPOY in her conference, so I just don’t see a strong argument for it, especially compared to the other players on this list and what they’ve accomplished this year. I think Vivians is absolutely deserving of 1st team and I agree with the 1st team list.

Leaving McCowan off is a big surprise, I’m guessing the poor showing against SC was fresh in voter memory when the votes came in. She’s had a remarkable season and Mississippi State is 32-1.  I’d put her on 2nd team.  I feel like I’m always defending her so maybe I’m in the minority there, but she’s had an outstanding year and Mississippi State has been a steady top 2-3 team all year.

No issue at all with Collier making third.  She hasn’t been a huge standout like last year, but she’s quietly put together a fantastic season.  I know a lot of people would rather see Nurse on these teams, but I think Napheesa has had a better season overall.
