Shocker - Braden Smith named Cousy Finalist

Has Harper played enough for results being a factor rather than potential which shouldn't be rewarded IMO

edit below

"Cousy" was known for his ball handling and playmaking and in that light...this list with Braden on it gets a lot smaller....

The four that stand out to me are Sears, Nembhard, Jones, and Smith with Jones and Smith probably being to top 2 in either order. I suspect that both will end up first team All American along with Flagg, Broome, and one other.

Close. Jones more of a scorer, but 6 assists per game versus nearly 9 for Smith. Big edge with triple double head to head, Smith 11pts 9assists but his team was clobbered.

I haven't see enough of the others. Kam is certainly a great player and Sears can shoot it, but who actually represents closest to Bob Cousy's ball handling and passing if this is truly about a player most closely representing Bob Cousy? That would separate Kam from Braden. Braden's assists are also different than Kam's...much more directly leading to a basket in that he creates so much of the conditions

I'd probably put Zeigler up in that top area too, but then they just blew out Florida without him.
