Willie Cauley-Stein representing the SEC contingent.

Willie Cauley-Stein - Kentucky
Jerian Grant - Notre Dame
Frank Kaminsky - Wisconsin
Jahlil Okafor - Duke
Kevin Pangos - Gonzaga
Cameron Payne - Murray State
D'Angelo Russell - Ohio State
Seth Tuttle - Northern Iowa
Kyle Wiltjer - Gonzaga
Delon Wright - Utah

Congrats to former Cat, Kyle Wiltjer for making it as a semi-finalist too. Still think it's Okafor's to lose but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell sneaks in there to nab it either. He's been incredible this season.

Where's Stefan Moody?

Oh, missing every shot in the first 25 minutes of every game? That's right. Sorry, I forgot. Carry on.

Cauley Stein?

You've got to be kidding me. I guess you have to have someone on that team on there but cmon. If he wins, I'll give up on humanity.

Nope.

If that's what causes you to give up on humanity, you should probably watch less basketball and live life a smidge more.

Willie Cauley-Stein


Overrated as frick, all he knows how to do is dunk. He can't shoot or do any kind of post moves. Not even the best player on his team. His 4 points at UGA yesterday was beastly!

Yeah, his on ball defense is just awful and definitely not a part of basketball.

More than you apparently. You said he couldn't do anything but dunk when that's the furthest thing from the truth. Have you ever seen him play defense? He's the best defensive player in the country.

Doesn't Mickey average 4 blocks a game?

Along with 16 pts and nearly 10 boards.

Cauley-Stein averages 9 points and 6 boards.

Then maybe he should win the best defender award but not best player! His offensive skill set is horrid!!
