“This ain’t the '50s anymore.” That’s what Ohio State guard, Sammy Prahalis (who, by the way, is on this list), told us just a few weeks back in regards to the evolution of women’s basketball. Honestly, we couldn’t have said it any better. To put it simply, you’re sorely missing out if you haven’t been watching. Leading the charge is the electrifying play of some of the nation’s phenomenal guards. And who better to give you the rundown than WNBA All-Star, Olympic gold medalist, and ESPN analyst Kara Lawson. Widely considered to be one of the greatest guards in women’s basketball history, (and known to break a few ankles herself), Lawson dishes on the illest ballers in the nation as the Women’s NCAA Tournament tips off this weekend.

5. Sammy Prahalis, Ohio State
4. Chelsea Gray, Duke
Position (Class): Guard (Sophomore)
Height: 5-foot-11
Stats: 12 PPG, 6 APG
Kara Lawson's Take: “Gray has improved a ton over the last couple of years. I saw her play in high school so I've been watching her since she was 14. She backed up Jasmine Thomas (now in the WNBA) over the past couple years and this year she is really showing off her skill. She's quick, has the ability to get into the lane, is a high-level passer, strong, fast, and determined. She's had a great year for a young Duke team.”
