I have no problem putting Maya Moore #1.....

I also have no problem putting Stewart #1...

This is about as close as a two person race as it gets....

For me that's as far as it goes and the conversation ends with either Maya or Stewart. Just an opinion. I don't think anyone else should be in this discussion of who the best Uconn player is...

 

[Skeets]

I think we are well beyond a top 5 for UConn WBB all time greats. We should do it like the WBCA AA team and choose 10. After all, that gets you on the HOH wall. 🤔

Oldude, that wouldn't fix the problem. We will still argue about who should be #10 and who should be left off.

It's not a Mt. Rushmore

A couple of things, how was Charles ahead of Sales in 2010 and 2015, then behind her in 2020?

Also, in the one of these things is not like the others,
DT - 3 AA / 2 NPOY / 3 NC
Moore - 4 AA / 3 NPOY / 2 NC
Stewart - 3 AA / 3 NPOY / 4 NC
Bueckers - 3 AA/ 2 NPOY / 1 NC
Sales - 2 AA / 0 NPOY / 1 NC

For comparison
Charles - 2AA / 1 NPOY / 2 NC
Collier - 2 AA / 0 NOY / 1 NC
Lobo - 2 AA / 1 NPOY / 1 NC

and for stats
Sales Top 5 - steals #1 Top 10 - points
Charles Top 5 - points/rebounds #1/ blocks/ FG%
Collier Top 5 - points / rebounds / FG% Top 10 - blocks
Lobo Top 5 - rebounds / blocks

Bueckers has only 1 NPOY..this past year it was JUJU

Actually Paige won the 2025 WBCA POY Wade Trophy and the Nancy Lieberman award for Top point guard. So she does have 2 NPOY.

Possibly Ruth wasn't a superior athlete, and Gretzky certainly wasn't

Yes, I've taken this comment out of context, but seriously?🤨

Paige also won the 2025 Honda Award as the top women’s basketball player in the country along with the Wade & Lieberman Awards.

It is worth noting that most of the POY Awards that were voted on before the postseason went to Watkins, and most that were voted on during or after the post season went to Paige. Obviously, the injury to Watkins was a factor. But so too was Paige’s fabulous string of 30+ pt games during the Big Dance.

We disagree on this. The Wade Trophy is selected by the WBCA. It has been around far longer than the Naismith Award for women, which is chosen by a group of sportswriters.

Indeed. People consider Naismith to be the most prestigious award simply because of the name "Naismith". If you look at what goes into each award and judge the awards that way, Naismith would be the least prestigious. This is no reflection on the players would have won the award. It's my opinion on what goes into the award compared to other awards.
