Message: [QUOTE="WestCoast, post: 3379420, member: 10114"] The next 10 games for each D1 team will go a long ways towards shaping the final three or four candidates that will be under consideration for the NPOY. I think that the original purpose of this thread was to acknowledge Walker's strong start to the season and her candidacy for serious NPOY consideration. Not surprising that Ionescu, the reigning NPOY would be drawn into the discussion, especially as her recent stats have improved over where she was just two games ago. With Cox out for a significant chunk of the season, the realistic pool of finalists is limited with just over 1/3 of the regular season completed. If the majority of the posters don't want to acknowledge that Walker will have competition for the NPOY award, then no other mention of other players need appear in the thread. However, healthy discussion of realistic candidates for that award only helps to frame and highlight the strong start that Walker is off to this season. Personally, I would like to see a new winner for the women's NPOY award for '19-'20 if another player's overall play and value to her team merit that individual honor. I like to see the wealth shared a bit. [/QUOTE]
