Clark led the nation in scoring (27.0) and assists (8.0) last season and also averaged 8.0 rebounds per game. She was a finalist for both the prestigious Naismith and Wooden awards won by Boston.

Jones, who averaged 13.2 points and 7.9 rebounds, led Stanford to the Final Four last season. She was named on 28 ballots. Joens was named on 24 ballots after averaging 20.3 points and 9.5 rebounds last season.

South Carolina is the preseason No. 1 team while Stanford (No. 2) and Iowa (No. 4) also are in the top five.
