Anyone else surprised at how she's plugged in to the lineup with such poise and confidence?
The thing I thought we'd miss the most from Jamie W in addition to her scoring was her toughness and physical presence as a rebounder and playmaker from the 2 spot. It's amazing to think of a Freshman filling the shoes of a Senior Pac-12 POY but Mikayla is certainly off to a good start.

MP looks very mature, physically, for a true freshman. Her upper body is strong and she's obviously very athletic (quick, fast). I haven't seen too much of the games, but I've watched some and a lot of the highlight reels and she definitely stands out as physical specimen at the guard position.
Skill-wise; she can shoot and handle. Rebounding, as you said, is a strength. And she can defend.
Really, she has an all-around game.
But, and you talk about it, the biggest surprise for me is her poise and confidence as a true freshman. She doesn't seem to be overcome by big time college game. I'm really looking forward to her leading the Beavs in the coming years.

She's also incredibly smart, which never hurts. I think the combination of physical talent and mental sharpness is going to take her great places.
