Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2173084, member: 2117"] If you don't consider Wilson polished, then who is polished? The only front court player you could make an argument for over Wilson is Collier. If you wanted to go with a true post who is more efficient but doesn't possess inside/out abilities, you can throw Jones from Maryland or Kalani Brown in the mix. That's about it. She has her weaknesses, but every player does. Wilson, as a 4, is the best in the country at her position. She presents an incredibly difficult matchup since she has a good (not great) face up game, can run the high low, or beat you off the dribble. She is a terrific rebounder and a great finisher at the basket. Her face up jumper from 4-15 feet isn't the most consistent, similar to how Tina Charles' face up game isn't the most consistent, but it's still a strong part of her game. She's made huge strides all 3 seasons and took her team to the promised land after many people counted them out once Coates was injured. Sure she didn't win POY after she was a favorite entering the season, but she did put her team on her back and lead them to an unexpected championship. Kind of like how Stewart didn't win any FOY awards after being the #1 recruit, but then went on to lead the Huskies to a title in 2013. I don't think anyone looks back and harps on Stewart for losing FOY to Loyd, just like how no one looks at Wilson and harps on her for not winning NPOY as a junior. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
