Multiple Stanford players on the list, including Nnecka as #2 (Lisa Leslie at #2). Chiney is #6.

Some quick observations:
- agree with Leslie at #1
- "multiple Stanford players" is putting it mildly :-)
- what awesome post tandems we've been lucky to watch in the P12 - Leslie/Thompson, Nneka/Chimney, Appel/Pederson & now Cam/Kiki. Most formidable front line overall? I'll go with Stevens/Steding/Whiting
- No Milica Vukadinovich?!?!?
Was Leslie really all that while at USC? I know she blossomed into the face of the WNBA but it seems her success at USC wasn't nearly as prominent. Nneka on the other hand led Stanford to 4 Final Fours and was dominant in 3 of those seasons.
I also think Wiggins should have been higher for the success she had in the Pac-10. But I wonder if her limited WNBA success influenced her placement (IE the opposite of my take of Leslie).
