5 players on the first team, 5 players on the second team, 5 players on the third team. Beautiful. It actually means something to be honored here.

God the Big East was so dumb with this back in the day. I think Andrew Kouwe made 2nd team all Big East one year.

Gotta think Eli would have won POY if we were a top 4 seed

Glad to see Elijah didn't get snubbed from 1st team

gone player is gone

Glad to see Elijah didn't get snubbed from 1st team

He was the leading scorer in the conference and was a on a team that finished 6th out of 15 teams. That would have been a travesty

Tre Jones, what a joke

Tre Jones, what a joke

16.2 ppg, 4.2 rebs, 6.4 assists, 1.9 steals. That's an extremely good season.

A well deserved honor -- Hughes was terrific this year.

He thrived as the go-to guy, and was up to the challenge of being the focal point of opposing defenses.

Carey or Nwora deserved POY more than Jones... If Duke doesn't have Carey I think they are probably a bubble team. Dude was dominant.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Tre Jones finished 4th in All ACC votes lol. Just give it to the guy with the most votes.

True. And the guy who should have won POY had even better numbers: 18.8 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 3.5 apg as a SG, all with much less floor talent around him to occupy defenses.

 

[Trueblue25]

16.2 ppg, 4.2 rebs, 6.4 assists, 1.9 steals. That's an extremely good season.

He benefitted enormously from Carey and Stanley, I think Nwora/Mooney/Hughes were all more impressive individually considering all factors and having watched each.

Someone on our board said that each team gets to nominate one player for POY (maybe to avoid splitting votes?). I guess dook must have nominated Jones. Jones v. Nwora is a tough choice IMO.

When do we find out if Girard made all-freshmen?

Yes K nominated him and the tobacco road mafia took the bait.
