ESPN recently came up with a list of the nation's top five power forwards, so I thought I'd post my my top five players for all five postions. I know some players like Nicole Ohlde could be placed at a number of postions, but I'll organize players based on what postion they play for their respective team. Post your top 5 players position-by-position. It will be interesting to see everyone's choices...
Point Guard:
1. Temeka Johnson LSU - Ultra-talented and ultra-quick
2. Kara Lawson Tennessee - Leadership sets her apart
3. Lindsey Wilson ISU - Scoring point guard
4. Coretta Brown UNC - If she plays point she's one of the best
5. Sara Nord Louisville - If you've seen her play, she's on your list
Shooting Guard:
1. Diana Taurasi UConn - She may revolutionize the game before it's all said and done
2. Alana Beard Duke - A close second, she keeps getting better
3. Kelly Mazzante Penn State - Scoring machine
4. Jia Perkins Texas Tech - Good scorer AND defender
5. Chandi Jones Houston - Best slasher in the game
Small Forward:
1. Nicole Powell Stanford - Triple-double machine, passes, scores, and rebounds
2. Shereka Wright Purdue - Aggressive defender and rebounder
3. Heather Schreiber Texas - She's a threat from just about anywhere
4. Monique Curry Duke - Physical perimeter player
5. Jocelyn Penn South Carolina - Good all-around athlete
Power Forward:
1. LaToya Thomas Mississippi State - Ultra athletic and very versatile
2. Shameka Christon Arkansas - She can dominate on the low block
3. Plenette Pierson Texas Tech - She made a lasting impression on me a couple years ago
4. Iciss Tillis Duke - More finess than power, but she's got a lot of talent
5. Caton Hill Oklahoma - Hard-nosed all-around player
Center:
1. Chantelle Anderson Vanderbilt - Best offensive post
2. Nicole Ohlde Kansas State - Most versatile center
3. Kara Braxton Georgia - Another player who may revolutionize the womens' game
4. Vanessa Hayden Flordia - Best defensive post
5. Ebony Hoffman Southern Cal - A versatile and physical center from out west
