There are some great point guards out there this season, including two players who already are contending for preseason Player of the Year honors.

Here's a look at the top five point guards in the country (listed alphabetically):

TOP POINT GUARDS
Sue Bird* Connecticut	WNBA coaches wanted to draft her last year. She's that good.
Stacey Dales* Oklahoma	A coach on the floor, her best trait is probably her leadership.
Brandi McCain* Florida	I get tired just watching opponents try to keep up with her.
Ashley McElhiney Vanderbilt	Fiery leader who provides Vandy with some toughness.
Shaquala Williams Oregon	Back from a knee injury and ready to prove she hasn't lost a step.
Breakout season: Lindsey Wilson, Iowa State Fab Frosh: Clare Droesch, Boston College * Player is a two-time selection who also was picked in our 2000-2001 season preview

ESPN play-by-play announcer Beth Mowins will contribute a bi-weekly women's college basketball feature throughout the season.
