G Bridget Carleton, Iowa State, 6-foot-1, senior
2018-19: 21.4 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 4.1 APG
The first Iowa State player to win Big 12 player of the year honors, Carleton led the Cyclones this season in points, rebounds, blocks and steals, and was second in assists. A member of the Canadian national team, she helped Iowa State rebound from missing the NCAA tournament last year to being 25-8, runner-up in the Big 12 tournament, and a likely NCAA top 16 seed this season. -- Mechelle Voepel

I was looking at the WNBA draft this year. Honestly, this, and that is one hell of an impressive list. I see all of them making rosters. To be one of these 10 players, is saying a lot.

Well deserved award, a true team player anyone would love to have playing along side!

Show me someone that works harder than Bridget. She took a pounding in both the Kansas and Texas games...and then waded into the deep waters against Baylor time and time again. She ran out of gas at the beginning of the 4th quarter...but not heart. She will not run out of gas in the tourney...opponents beware.

The second team would beat the first team

You might be right. Only thing is Gustafson is probably the best player ive ever seen play in this state. She was named national player of the year today even.

Absolutely. The players on the first team would spend the whole game arguing over who gets to be the "volume shooter" for the game. Too many "me firsters" on that squad.

I would have used the disagree emogj but instead I would just say IMO Bridgett is a much better all round player. Gustafson is a very good post player but has not played against many defenders with her size. If she would end up having to play against say Baylor I believe they will shut her down big time.

I hope it happens in the NCAA tourney.
