Wasn’t sure if he could jump Toppin or not since Toppin was hurt. Good job by Jeff
And he had 3 more first team votes so that means a lot of voters didn't even have him on their second team ballot. There aren't 10 players in the nation better than Joshua Jefferson.
Let’s hope Jefferson can make that case in a future win

Thought Police
Normally I would object to Toppin being on that list due to the amount of games he missed, but he was definitely the real deal and 100% would have been there if healthy.
I'd also take Kingston Flemings over Braden Smith 10 times out of 10. He actually plays defense
He'll get picked somewhere between 20-40 I'd guess. Late first early second type of guy. Most big boards have him 20-30 range that I have seen
Yeah, same with Caleb Wilson, even though he obviously played in more games.
I'm just glad Darryn Peterson didn't get rewarded. Phenomenal talent, but he checked himself out of too many games. He's like the anti-Tamin
if JJ has a blueblood jersey on, he's easily a 1st teamer.
JT Toppin, Texas Tech, 6-9, 230, Junior; Dallas, Texas; 21.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists (12, 163)
(asterisk)-unanimous selection
Second Team
Joshua Jefferson, Iowa State, 6-9, 240, Senior; Las Vegas, Nevada; 16.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists (15, 162)
Typo by the AP? JJ has 3,001 more votes than Toppin here.
Toppin: 12 first team votes, 163 total votes.
Jefferson: 15 first team votes, 162 total votes.
As do a few posters during games.
Folks like Malone wanted him benched to teach him a lesson even if it meant the team having a worse result hahaha.
