We don't need Betts to score as much. So, she's not going to have a flashy ppg number. I will be the first to admit that I haven't followed the women's POY discussions over the years, but my guess is that if you're not putting up big scoring numbers, it's hard to get into the conversation.
Betts is a phenomenal player. But, our of curiosity, have you watched ND or sc play much this season? Bueckers, like I said, is not of the caliber of Juju and Hidalgo, but she's very good, too. And, I haven't seen her play much.
Betts should absolutely be in the POY conversation. She's getting a little shortchanged. But, I understand why.
