Lets talk All American team...

[Southside Hoosier Fan]

TJD is just in another world right now. POY is down to he and Edey, with Edey ahead IMHO.

POY is over and it’s Edey by a mile

I am now willing to concede TJD has moved in front of all but Edey and maybe Jalen Wilson on the AA list.

But he's still pretty far behind Edey IMO.

Do these Kenpom numbers you cherry pick take into account Purdue having the easiest schedule in the Big Ten and IU having the toughest?

Does it take in account that TJD is doing things statistically not seen since Tim Duncan in the 90s?

Guessing it doesn't take in account the 6+ weeks where TJD played at 65% and did not practice due to the back injury.

Do these Kenpom numbers take into account who the better defensive player is?

Is NPOY an MVP award or best Player award?

Edey is the most consistent offensive player this season, no doubt.

Tell me you don’t understand analytics without telling me you don’t understand analytics.

True----but he ain't THAT wrong. The numbers TJD is putting up are absurd. I don't think he passes Edey for BPOY----but he has certainly closed the gap. Barring some type of collapse, he's cemented a spot on 1st team AA....

 

[dukedevilz]

Love Dajuan Harris, but in no way would I ever vote him on 3rd Team over Jalen Pickett.

 

[winin11]

That seems fair. I really feel like there are 6 guys competing for those 5 spots on 1st Team. Edey, Wilson, TJD, Tubelis, Timme, and Miller. Obviously Edey is a 100% lock, so you could say 5 guys competing for 4 spots.

If I'm looking at the numbers and the success of teams, I feel like Timme should be the odd man out. Just given the name recognition, however, I wouldn't be surprised if Timme makes 1st Team over someone like a Tubelis, or perhaps Brandon Miller.

Tshiebwe, Sasser, and Jaquez aren't completely of the equation, but they've got a considerable amount of ground to make up in the next few weeks.

I would think Noah Gurley- Alabama F 6'10" would have made the list.
Outside of that I like it.

Here is the first of 4 that it takes to be a consensus AA:

Sporting News 2022-23 college basketball All-America team | Sporting News

College basketball was long dominated by guard play, but that is no longer the case if you look at the Sporting News All-America team. Experienced big men are plentiful among our three teams for the 2022-23 season.

1st team:
Zach Edey (Unanimous)
Jalen Wilson (missed by 1 vote)
Trayce Jackson-Davis

Jalen Pickett
Tyler Kolek

Tshiebwe should be second team, bad press and all.

Not sure who I'd pull off that team to put him there. All 5 of those guys have had great seasons as well.

Yes, anyone in the discussion has had a great season. Oscar got a ton of defensive attention and single handedly put Ky in the dance and this is from a fan that despises every fiber of the Ky program.
