Count me as another who thinks Latson deserves to be mentioned in this conversation. I'm not saying she deserves to win over JuJu but she often gets overlooked simply because she is at FSU and not at a ND or UConn or some other traditional power.
Just look at these stats:
25.4 PPG
46% FG
36% 3FG
82%FT
4.5 Reb
4.7 Ast
2.2 Steals
Highest usage rate in the nation at 38.1, leads the nation in scoring, led the ACC in offensive box/plus/minus, led the ACC in player efficiency rating (3rd in the nation in this category behind Sarah Strong and Paige), is responsible for the 3rd most points produced in the nation and the 2nd most produced per game.
She had a dud of a game to close out the season vs Duke and that certainly hurts her chances for conference player of the year. But some of the other players being mentioned for various awards have also dropped in some stinkers.
