Midseason All Americans

Such a god damn joke. Parker has been benched in the second half of the last three duke games because he doesn't play defense. A 1st team AA does not get benched.

I am so sick of the freshman hype machine.

And before anyone says look at his numbers...for every point he scores, he gives up 2.
 
I would 100% have Ennis on the 2nd team over Appling. Syracuse is undefeated after all, and he's arguably been the main reason why.
 
Hype machine is still at it. I don't see Parker as a first team All American right now.
 
If Parker continues to struggle, obviously he'll fall off the first team, but as of now, with the numbers he has for the whole season, he's an obvious choice and would probably be POTY if not for McDermott.

It'll be interesting to see how he does as the season progresses. I think his struggles against athletic players is a very real issue for Duke, and his defense is among the worst I've seen in an NBA prospect in a long time.

One guy that didn't make any of the teams that could definitely be in the conversation by the end of the year is Rodney Hood.

Edit: And I don't think Appling making 2nd team over Ennis is that big of a deal, but we've had that discussion before lol. The author of the article himself said that you could make the case that Ennis has been the best PG in the country at this point, so I think he was legitimately torn on where to put these PGs.
