3 are obvious. ... right? If not Espn and the WNBA will look like fools. That leaves two spots. I will say Young and Faris. .. not because I am biased at all. .... :)

Young and Faris are very sound predictions. I think Hawkins is also going to have a successful year.

My sleeper is Kansas guar Goodrich.

I think Tayler Hill's game translates really well into the WNBA. I could see her making some noise. I also like Hawkins to make the team. I think Faris needs a year or two to really get her footing before she has a long successful career (which I expect). Her offense needs expansion first. Obviously her defense is already at the WNBA level.

I like Hill a lot too. Her shooting numbers were down this year, because she was the focal point, but I expect her to be a better pro.

Unfortunately, this year, the Mystic's team is a wreck. Langhorne is great, and Currie and Latta are on and off. I think she'll definitely get a lot of playing time/opportunity to put up shots/stats. Not sure about her efficiency though. Same for Hawkins, without Jackson and Bird, I think Hawkins will get the opportunity to play a lot. Both Bone and Young will play behind Ford/Pierson/Braxton. I do think Faris is a dark horse. She's better than Green (and could start), but in these type of teams/awards, points will be a big factor on who gets selected.

I'll say...Griner, Delle Donne, Diggins...

Hill and Hawkins, based on opportunity/play time.

Griner
Elena Delle Donne
Diggins
Hill
Bone

ROY: It comes down to EDD & Griner.

I also think Elena, and Brittney could end up on one of the All-WNBA teams. Also I'm going to say that Brittney will win Defensive Player of the year. :p

If they are healthy, it would be a huge surprise for the Big 3 rookies not to make it.

PT will be a big factor in this. Who moves into a starting slot, based on talent or opportunity?

I could see Tayler Hill scoring a lot on a bad Washington team. She could get recognition if she scores 10+ ppg.

I think Faris will do well, but for the same reasons she didn't get listed on the All-American teams, she won't make the all-rookie team. Those awards are mostly offense, although a few dunks will get noticed. That isn't what she will contribute. She'll have decent offense, but not top 5 offense.
