Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 5209589, member: 2117"] Paige isn't in the mix for POY this season. It's a 3 horse race between Hidalgo, Juju and Betts. Honestly there's a strong case for all 3: Hidalgo-monster showings in big games this year, though she's cooled off to finish the season and Notre Dame isn't in position for a #1 seed. Still her stats are top tier and she's been considered the front runner for most of the season. Has outplayed Booker, Bueckers and Watkins head to head. Juju-she isn't as efficient but her impact on both ends can't be denied. When she's on and at her best, I think she's the best player in the country. Her performances against UCLA were brilliant and she had a great showing vs. UCONN too. She's a streaky shooter/scorer but USC is likely in position for the #2 overall seed right now and her numbers are very good. Definitely a strong contender. Betts-she's the clear standout post player this season. 20/10, 3 assists and 3 blocks shooting 62% from the floor is POY worthy. I wouldn't be upset with any of the 3. All 3 impact the game in a huge way on both ends of the court. We'll see what conference tournaments bring but this is the most open POY race in a long time. [/QUOTE]
