Pusica is a very good player but is a PG so to compare his assists to JWF's is unfair. I think you need to compare apples to apples. JWF clearly is a much more of an offensive player then Pusica, plays more minutes has a better FT percentage, more steals and leads the league in three point shots made and without Justin IDK if we win any games. Maybe NE has trouble winning without Pusica? I think Justin is clearly the most exciting player in this league and has the resume to back it up.There's a case to be made for some players in this league and I would be upset if Justin doesn't win this easily.Cards wrote:Evan - you make a good case for Pusica but i think the difference in scoring average puts JWF in the player of the year seat.EvanJ wrote:1. A Northeastern fan though Pusica sealed Player of the Year, and I objected. I think JWF will win, but I think Pusica is better. Regardless of how good Charleston is, I will be mad if anybody other than JWF or Pusica wins. Pusica is good enough that Northeastern is in second without anybody else averaging more than 9.8. Pusica shoots better than JWF. He averages exactly 5 assists, which is over 50% more than JWF, with a better assist/turnover ratio. Pusica has a little more rebounds and steals. JWF is great, but I think it's okay to be picky about Player of the Year, and I think Pusica has less to be picky about.Polito wrote: HU has the clear best player in the conf (and it's not close IMO), a budding all-conf star, and a 1st teamer who's going to break DAVID ROBINSON'S CAA rebounding record, which is astounding.
2. I don't think Gustys will make the First Team. Wright-Foreman and Pusica lead their teams in scoring by a lot. Charleston has three stars, and I think at least one makes the first team. William & Mary gets a lot from all of their starters. Then there's Martin, Seibring, Daly, Mosley, Isabell, and Cacok. Every team has a very good player. Would you complain about a First Team of Wright-Foreman, Pusica, Chealey or Riller, Knight, and Cacok?
Regarding Rok - I think your correct, he does not make first team. Cacock is having tooo big of a year to not make him the "big" man on 1st team.
Regarding the entire first team - i agree with all your picks other than Knight. i would put Isabell on first team. Oddly enough, Isalbell gets almost as any rebounds per game as Knight, yet isabell clearly can take over a game on the offensive side - something that I don't think Knight can do.
As for first team CAA that's a very difficult decision and I tend to agree with you Evan that ROK is second team. His FT % would have helped his ppg if he could put it in the hole but I think Cacock wins this but still believe that ROK is a better rebounder. What about Brantley for 1st team a very good player that can score?
