The biggest stars in WCBB make the best plays on the sport's biggest stages. Here's a look at the bona fide A-list seniors in the college game:
- Candace Parker (Tennessee): The all everything-forward has taken the women’s basketball scene by storm. Coming out of high school, people thought she’d revolutionize the game with her dunks, but it’s her versatility that sets her apart from the rest. She can knock down a fade away on the baseline, or she can take you down low and use her athleticism to rise above. She will go down as one of the best players to ever play the game.
- Crystal Langhorne(Maryland): When Brenda Frese was thinking of building a program, a player like Crystal Langhorne was a no-brainer. Crystal is not only a great low post scorer, but a tenacious player on both ends. Her size might deceive you, but when she uses her speed to out maneuver you, she will leave you in her tracks.
- Sylvia Fowles(LSU): Like Parker, many loved Sylvia Fowles for ability to dunk. However, after two years of struggling in the paint, she has finally arrived. The low post skills she once had are considerably better and she will beat you not only offensively but also defensively. You must take it up strong against her, because she is a warrior.
- Candace Wiggins(Stanford): Wiggins is not only one of the best guards in the nation, but she’s one of the best players in the nation. She can hit the three, though her best skill is taking her opponent off the dribble and taking the jump shot around eight feet, or taking it to the rim. She has an incredibly court sense and a decent defensive repertoire. Candace is truly instant energy.
- Matee Ajavon(Rutgers): Some will question her basketball I.Q. but no one will question her ability or her heart. She has the special ability to take over a game. One she hits a few; she can get heat it up. Like her counterparts, she’s versatile. She always had the speed and the ability to score off the dribble, but now she has improved the consistency of her outside perimeter offense. I also see her as an underrated defender too. You don’t play for C. Viv. without being a master of defense, you just don’t.
