Brink hasn't had to be dominant offensively with the team around her.  Great to see her being more aggressive and smarter in the post.  As a freshman in last year's final few games, she seemed a little averse to contact at times when I thought she could have stood her ground and returned the favors thrown her way.

Even with Wilson and the Hulls leaving after this season, Brink will still have major offensive contributors (all four juniors: Jones, Belibi, Prechtel, Jump) ready to go.  Brink's defensive performance could keep her in the national conversation as an individual player even if her offensive numbers are team-oriented.  Maybe in her senior year she'll seize the spotlight a la Griner.

I’m not sure Brink will have the same spotlight as Griner since she will be sharing the post her senior year with then sophomore Lauren Betts.  But I’m not sure this team cares as much about individual accolades.  The great thing about winning last year is that it validated the team first mentality that Stanford has always had.  Look at how happy our “star” players are when Emma-Nnopu hits a big three to seal a win late in the game.
