Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 2970463, member: 366"] My problem with A’ja and Sabrina is not that they aren’t great players. My problem is with the writers who vote them the pre-season NPOY and treat them all season long as if they are or will be the NPOY. When there is a large portion of the season yet to be played, don’t treat someone as the presumptive NPOY, unless that player has already been NPOY and is clearly better than everyone else (Maya, Stewie). I saw enough of A’ja in the summer to recognize that she is really good and was deserving of the NPOY and ROY awards. In the World Cup, however, the competition defended her well and showed that she still needs counter moves. Sabrina is an unusual talent. I need to see more of her to judge better. Her foot speed appears to be her one weakness. Is it a real problem? I’m not sure. I’d look on her more favorably if she had a solid second half against ND in March. She was excellent in the first half, but I wanted her to keep it up and knock out the Irish. The green people slowed her down appreciably. [/QUOTE]
