Freeman lock for POY, but who's your coach and frosh of the year? Boals has to get consideration. I really like Simmons at UT, an old-school big man with his work around the rim and his 1970s afro. A true throwback. Back to Top WxM General User Member Since: 1/21/2020 Post Count: 171 Status: Offline     RE: Season awards    Posted: 3/9/2024 9:22:16 AM  bobcatsquared wrote: E.

A true throwback. My "vote" is for Boals, but I think Barbee gets it. Level of expectations have a lot to do with it. Boals is already perceived to have had Ohio in the upper tier of the MAC; Barbee had to bring them from the bottom. I don't think that's fair, because it ignores the coaching job that had to be done with the roster as it is. Boals coached up a bunch of guards mid-season and got them to defend while CMU ran out of gas. I don't think CMU falling behind Ohio changes people's minds, unfortunately.

I would be shocked if they put him 1st team. It is extremely driven by the stat leaderboards. Clayton is 23rd in both scoring & rebounds. A deeper dive would show he has a great FG % from all over the court, plays great defense, etc. But MAC voters aren't smart enough for that level of depth. Jaylin is first in the MAC in assists and A/TO ratio while sitting 13th in scoring. And 3rd in steals. He might have a better shot than Clayton at first team. I wouldn't be surprised to see them both on 2nd team. I think Raheim Moss is probably a smart pick, leader of the regular season champs. Unfortunately we could see the excessive shot takers of the league like Marcus Hill (BG), Chatman (Buffalo), Coit (NIU), Acuff (EMU) grab 1st team spots along with the obvious pick of Freeman. Wiz for 6th man, obviously.

No frosh for us. No 6th man although Ajay has been great off the bench.

Feel like 3rd team is probably a stretch. Marcus Hill averages more rebounds. 23rd in rebounds is gonna be a tough sell for a forward. Freeman. Bisheer Jihad. Sy Chatman. Agee. Kid from Toledo. Maybe 3rd if they look at our record and play down the stretch, take in the full picture.

I believe they do one defensive team. Certainly, don't think it's open and shut, but maybe. AJC is up there in blocks... but I dont know... Freeman has a stronghold on one spot, and who knows what they plan to do with that 2nd F... I feel like Sy Chatman and Basheer have the edge on him defensively as well. You never know what voters are looking for, but Chatman has a better defensive rating. I found a stat called "defensive win shares" (wins attributed due to defense) and AJC has a slight edge, but OU is a way better team so wouldn't that be skewed if your team is good? We're in a bubble so I dont know what kind of national name recognition he has amongst voters and coaches, but if someone is just looking at a stat sheet I'm not sure AJC is jumping out.

Buffalo being horrible shouldn't take away from how good he has been this season. 5th in scoring. 8th in rebounds. 3rd in blocks. 18.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 blocks Even Mirambeubs got honorable mention for 12/3. Very guard heavy on these teams. No surprise about Barbee or Freeman. Would like to see where Boals ended up on that list. *edit* I didn't even pay attention to Ali Ali up there. Ali Ali IS talented, but 1st team? Ridiculous. Basheer should be that 2nd "forward", though it seems like they went out of there way not to include forwards. Shareef not even honorable mention is also silly. Hard to argue with coaches votes, but a clear lack of respect for production on the floor.

An NBA talent could've presumably went anywhere for his final year, he chose lowly Buffalo. A 6'8" forward. How? Why? What am I missing?

An NBA talent could've presumably went anywhere for his final year, he chose lowly Buffalo. A 6'8" forward. How? Why? What am I missing? For starters he's 6'8 230 and athletic. You don't make the league without size and athleticism. He's big and physical enough to get rebounds and block shots at the next level. Combine that with the fact he can dribble drive, rise and finish at the rim, and also has a good jumper out to 18 feet means he's not stuck as a back to the basket guy. Everyone in the NBA 1-5 has to be able to shoot, and he can. His age and coming from mid major will work against him. He'll also need to develop his 3pt shot. His stats arent eye popping but hes a contributor at 18 and 6 with 2 blocks per game so he can score and defend. As a 2nd day or FA guy, he's got a shot IMO. Nobody else in the MAC fits NBA profiles. Freeman is too thin and doesn't have a good enough face up game (handles or shot).

A year ago he was just another run of the mill big in the transfer portal from Illinois State? And this 1 season at Buffalo has flipped him to an NBA prospect? I just don't see it.

Agee has played like a man all year for BG.
