| All the past winners have went on to have reasonably solid WNBA careers, except the winner from 2010. 2015 is like a repeat of 2010. Can you pick one player from this list to have a reasonably solid WNBA career. Maybe Mitchell? A freshman has never won this award so that would really be making a statement.

Moriah Jefferson.

I think Plum, Allen, Mitchell and Theriot all have a chance to have decent WNBA careers. Thre of those still have two or three more years to develop. The fourth has the advantage of really good height for a point guard.
I really doubt Mitchell will win it this year.

Really, Shades? Really? A repeat of 2010?
I'd pick Theriot, Logic, Allen, and Johnson of the ones I've seen. I wouldn't count Jefferson out despite her lack of height, since I remember Temeka Johnson and Shannon Bobbitt, both of whom were 5'2, but I don't think she's going to win it this year. As for who's going to win, it's anyone's guess. I haven't seen most of these.
Oh, and I don't remember Renee Montgomery, either. Sorry.

Kelsey Mitchell is as close to a lock for pro success as any freshman point guard will ever be.
After her, I would say Lexie Brown, who reminds me of Bria Hartley. Like Hartley, she may never win the Lieberman award, but size or athleticism won't be a concern at the next level, and there aren't any serious weaknesses in her skill set.

I doubt it too, but I think she's the one who's likely to have a solid pro career.
Plum.... a 5'8 SG? Hard seeing it happen. Theriot.....too skinny but you never know.

| Isn't there a height limit for this award? Maybe that explains some of the missing folks.

No Lexie Brown?
Alston is probably wondering what she has to do to get any recognition being on the same team as Mitchell.

| Amber Orrange doesn't make it despite completely outplaying Moriah Jefferson when they met? Okay.

Not only that, she was able to blow by the highly vaunted defense of KML. Lieberman obviously is all about what have you done for me lately.

Playing PG would be a good start.
And head-to-head stats mean close to nothing in college ball, especially when it's a one game sample. I agree that Orrange should be on there though.

5'6" Becky Hammon had a fantastic career primarily playing SG.

Is Plum Becky Hammon, and is today's WNBA built for a new Becky Hammon? You know....bigger, stronger, taller?

Moriah Jefferson. |
She was my first thought too. Lesser guards have made it in the WNBA.

This isn't the "One Trick Pony" Award.
Orrange 12.9 pts/gm 47% fg 41% 3pt 3.5 ass/gm 1.9 a/t
Jefferson 11.8 pts/gm 57% fg 49% 3pt 4.6 ass/gm 3.0 a/t

| I would have liked to have seen Jen Dumiak on the list. Is she the best PG in the country? no. But the best in the Patriot league and better than some on this list and I like to recognize the minor leagues.

| I've been impressed with Sydney Wiese of OSU. She's more of a scoring pg than some others and being on a west coast team has little exposure. She plays with a lot of maturity for a sophomore.
