All Big 12 first team

[AMarner32]

Anyone want to take a stab at who may be All conference? We probably have three candidates with Monte, Georges and Jameel.

I'd guess it will look something like this:

Gathers
Niang
Hield
Forte
Morris

I could also see Ellis, McKay and maybe Nash also being considered.

no way no KU will be on the 1st team, I think Ellis and Hield are slam dunks.

 

[ZJohnson]

Zero chance Ellis is left off the First team...hell he could end up being POY in the conference.

No chance Old Man Ellis is not the first team. He worked 20 years to get it...

Ellis
Hield
Niang
Morris
Nash

 

[CyFan61]

Morris
Hield
Niang
Gathers
Ellis

 

[kberyldial]

1st: Staton, Morris, Hield, Ellis, Gathers
2nd: Niang, Nash, TCU point guard, Prince, Forte
3rd: Mason, Cousins, McKay, someone from Texas, Williams

 

[State43]

Staten
Niang
Ellis
Hield
Gathers

 

[VeloClone]

Deserving or not, I doubt Morris will be first team. Mason and Staten getting too much press at the point guard position for them to put Morris on there.

Ellis will be the POTY.



I'd go:

G Morris
G Hield
G Staten
F Niang
F Ellis

If they have 6 spots maybe add Nash.

 

[jim4]

Staten
Hield
Niang
Ellis
Gathers

Note: This is my prediction, not my picks.

 

[CyArob]

Morris
Staten
Mason
Forte
Nash
Prince
Gathers
Niang
Ellis
Hield

I would say the bolded are "locks". The other 2 spots are pretty interchangeable. I wouldn't be surprised if the first team has 6 players.

[CarlHungus]

Mason
Hield
Niang

Gaithers

I have a feeling Monte will get snubbed

 

[EYEoftheSTORM]

If I had to guess...

Ellis
Gathers
Niang
Hield
Staten

Monte gets snubbed even though he is with out a doubt the best PG in the league. It's just that Niang is the guy everyone associates with Iowa State.. Staten because he was pre season POY even though I don't think he deserves to be 1st team All-XII over some other contenders.

 

[bawbie]

Staten
Hield
Niang
Ellis
Gathers

this is my prediction as well. I could see Nash instead of Staten maybe.

also, George's is the guy every team game plans for. When you listen to other coaches talk about this team, he's the first one mentioned.

So I checked out the "conference games only" statistics on Big 12's site and there are some interesting tidbits on there.

1. Jameel is our best free throw shooter in conference play at 65.2% and 15th overall in conference! (min. 2.5 made per game). 2nd in blocks, 3rd in rebounds
2. Niang is top 10 in pts and assists and top 20 in rebounds while also 2nd in conf. in 3P%
3. Morris 2nd in steals, 2nd in FG% (!) and leads assists and assists to TOs while also being 11th in pts and 2nd in minutes played


Is there a site with efficiency stats for college players? I can't imagine too many players are more effective per possession/touch than Morris.

I don't see how you leave Morris off first team and Jameel off second team. Niang could go either way. Hield or Ellis could get player of year. Staten has a good stat line but I honestly thought it would be better.
