I wonder if the selection committee thinks like some members of this board -- even THEY could get 7 apg if they had Zach Edey on their team.
Good, let him play with a chip on his shoulder.
DaJuan Harris does NOT belong on that list. At all.
Right? He has also shot half as many 3s Braden.
Ziegler is great at defense but no way he should be on this list.
He can still win the award, just ridiculous he was left off the watch list…Paint didn’t get it either—
“It is what it is. Win the next game.”
Oh for sure. Just should recognize a kid who is killin it…especially when he wasn’t highly “ranked”.
Here is an excellent article that described what CMP said at the recent pre-NW presser about this travesty:
Statistically speaking, he should for sure be on the list as his overall stats make him practically the favorite to win it. Then you watch his play the last 10 games or so and the eyeball test also confirms he should be on the list. Someone mentioned he is still a contender for the award (just not on the watchlist) is that actually accurate?
I say let Purdue win it all this year and let all the haters eat crow. Smith is a player and fun to watch.
i mean i think it’s just a midseason list but an article above says it’s the 10 finalists. So who knows. Either way ridiculous he isn’t on there but it’s fine. Adds more fuel to the fire.
Here’s a Cousy finalist:
Jahvon Quinerly from Memphis — 25(!!!!!) years old, turning 26 this year (he turned 20 his Frosh year)
During the most recent Memphis 4 game losing streak:
12 ppg
34% overall from field
27% from 3
17 assists (4 per game)
14 Turnovers (3 per game)
13 rebounds (3 per game)

I believe both Braden and Boo are deserving. I can’t comment on the others. It should be noted Trey of the Atlanta Hawks also has outstanding “stats”. But has never been selected to any NBA all star game. Big Dog faced similar issues when playing for the Bucks. He was always that next guy until he finally made it.
We know the voting is subjective and a popularity contest. Let’s win a few games and complain about individual awards after the season.

It’d be nice if they at least told ppl what their criteria was. And Boo for sure is deserving. I’d say Braden and him are at the top of this list.
And we aren’t the team so we can worry about the awards for them 😊
Maybe the media did this on purpose to make everyone talk about it.
That could be the answer to every post on this forum.
Dickie V misses a lot but he got this one right.

These six floor generals are the best in the college basketball biz now.
I read that somewhere too but it doesn't make sense. I suppose it's only a "watch list" and not a "finalist" list.
Or Xavier Johnson (the one from IU not from SIU—dude is BALLIN without lance and Domask haha)
