Ejim National POY Talk

Sadly I think you're wrong. Guys like Self and Barnes would make him play the 2 or the 3. Either way he's playing on the perimeter. Maybe he would be known as a great rebounding guard like Kane is right now for us, but he would never guard Cory Jefferson, Isaiah Austin, Jeff Withey, etc. if he was playing for Self or Barnes. No way. He'd be on the perimeter.

I think the point was if you told someone he played for those teams he would be seen as those things.

What about Ejim, averaging 18 points and 8 boards? Or Niang, who averages 15 and takes (and makes) the big shots late in games? Or Kane, averaging 14/8/6 and being the floor general? I don't think it's as clear-cut as you seem to.

All I'm saying is that you can make valid arguments for 4 different guys and debate for days on end. What a great problem to have for us fanatics.

That being said, if you put a guy with his numbers on a team like Kansas or Texas, I think you're right. If a Jayhawk leads the Big 12 in double-doubles and rebounds, he's no doubt going to be first-team all conference.

That is exactly what I was trying to say. His stats last year on most of the other teams in the conference would be a guarantee for 1st team status in the conference. Not 3rd team or whatever he got.

I just typed it very poorly.
