Question #3
MJ's Take...
Having seen her play recently, I’d say Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton (F/C, Purdue). I know she’s coming off a serious knee injury from 2007 and is just now regaining her confidence, but she’s still one of the better post players in her class despite being undersized. She’s tough/strong, can guard multiple positions well, and can score inside. She also seems to have an even keel demeanor. What’s not to like?
PS's Take...
Shalee Lehning is my pick here. People knock her defense, and shrug at her rebounding, but she is a true point guard with the ability to penetrate almost at will against any defense and find open shooters...there are teams that should be willing to die for a penetrating, pass first, point guard who rebounds so aggressively. I also like Megan Frazee who plays for a small school, but offers a great blend of size and skill that will make her a solid pro.
CD's Take...
Marlies Gipson comes to mind. Gipson is undersized at 6'0" but has dominated in the post for the last couple years in the nation's toughest conference. Gipson is great with her back to the basket, but she's as effective from 15 feet and in. She has a solid range to her game. Plus, she's an underrated shot blocker. She's one of the best defenders in the Big XII.
I also have to give a shout out to Marshae Dotson. If toughness had a place in the stat column, Dotson would fill it up. Again, she's another undersized post (at 5'11") but she is great in low post situation and has a knack for rebounding.
