Elena Delle Donne "The Best Women's Player You May Not Know"

Women's college basketball is as star studded and star player, publicized as its ever been with names such as UConn's recently graduated star, Mya Moore , Baylor's Brittany Griner, Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins and several more but the name you need to know if you don't already is, Elena Delle Donne of Delaware University!!!!
    She isn't an over night hype though. Actually she has been putting out phenomenal play on every stage for a while now. Let's go back a little. Elena Delle Donne played high school basketball at Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Delaware where she led her team to three straight state championship titles and was ranked #1 overall high school  by Scout.com. She was the first and only player thus far to score over 2000 points in their high school career at that school and also set a high school national record with 80 consecutive free throws made. Approaching the end of her prep career, Elena was the most recruited player in the nation since Candace Parker and received a basketball scholarship to UConn, womens college basketballs most powerful program in recent years. Due to not wanting to separate from her family, namely her sister that is blind and deaf as a result of cerebral palsy, she elected to leave summer school at UConn and attend the University of Delaware, right there at home. In her freshman season, Elena averaged a ridiculous 26.7 points per (3rd ppg nationwide) , including 54 pts on February 10, 2010.Needless to say she won the CAA's Player of the Year and Rookie of the year in the same year. No men had ever won both awards in one season.
    In her sophomore season, she began suffering from flu like symptoms to the point where in she even asked to be taken out of a game. Following that situation, test were run and doctors found that Elena suffered from Lyme's disease. She still managed to help her team to the conference tournament finals and to the NIT Tournament.
She was named to the 2011 USA Basketball team for the World University Games in China where she led the team to the Gold Medal with a 6-0 record and averages of 15.7 ppg, 8.5 rebounds, and 3 assist per game.
 Now in her Junior season, she is lighting it up leading the nation in scoring with 27.9 per game currently. Bottom line....she is for real. She's a versatile 6'5 player that plays just as hard on both ends. If you didn't know, now you know. Elena Delle Donne is a lady baller to watch out for.....
