RebKell's Junkie Boards

During the Iowa/Indiana game today they announced that Megan Gustafson, the Iowa center, is the leading scorer in the nation at 24 point something a game.

She has a great low post game, but I think too short to play center in the WNBA. She needed Iowa to give her a 6'5" listing as Minnesota gave Zahui B., then potential lottery pick.


Someone started a website VoteGustafson.com to promote her for:

Naismith Trophy
John R Wooden Award
Lisa Leslie Award
All-American

It says she is:
Averaging over 24 points and 12 rebounds a game
Ranked in the top 5 in 9 categories:

points per game (#1 24.9)
field goals made
double-doubles (25)
field goal percentage (third - 66.5%)
rebounds
rebounds per game (#5)
total points
offensive rebounds per game
#1 in the nation in points per possession at 1.23

Vera Jones says she has a "HUGE future. She's so relentless, so much energy, and humble beyond words". But when she was asked about her WNBA draft potential, it became "she'll get a good look".

Janel McCarville, Erlana Larkins, Elizabeth Williams and Crystal Langhorne just off the top of my head are all players that are her size or smaller and have started at the 5 in the W. Next year is a deep draft and is absolutely loaded with posts but I would be very surprised if she didn't make a roster.
