ALL MWC Team

[pablo]

Ok, first I'll admit that I havent seen too many MWC games this year......but just for fun, post your MWC 1st and 2nd team picks. Here's mine-

First Team:
Hobson, UNM Jr.
Fredette, BYU Jr.
Willis, UNLV Jr.
Martinez, UNM Sr.
Leonard, SDSU Fr.

Second Team:
Gary, UNM Jr.
Thomas, SDSU Jr.
White, SDSU Jr.
Stanback, UNLV So.
Emery, BYU Jr.


Of course, Wallace, Moss, and Gay would make the team if it were the all anti-lobo team...... Hey, maybe someone else can start that thread :))

I just couldnt put any TCU guys on there as they just dont play well as a team. Muojeke of Wyoming would have been on there somewhere but he got hurt. Also considered Brown of Utah, Bellfield of Vegas and a few others but Stanback won out for the last slot. Please join the fun and add your teams.....

[SpanaBaller]

I agree with your list.

Jimmer Fredette gets Player of the Year
Darington Hobson gets Newcomer of the Year
Kawhli Leonard gets freshman of the Year

Notice all the juniors on that list? This league will really kick ass next yr.!

Ok, even though you're bein' sarcastic, here you go:

All freshmen team:
Leonard, SDSU
Haws, BYU
Green, CSU
Henderson, Utah
Fenton, UNM (ok, I'll be a homer, there was no clear 5th guy...)

Only change would be Andy Ogide for Stanback

Interesting. I guess u mean Jackson (Emery). I like Haws alot too. I think that when Jimmer leaves, Haws will be a star. I think Jasper is out injured for the rest of the season.

That is correct. Those first and last names that can be interchangeable tend to confuse me.



Jasper has a strained left knee. He should probably return to action in a week or two.

I guess my question is, "If TCU has such good players (i.e. Moss and Buljan), why do they suck?" I just cant give too much respect for that....On the other hand, I'd consider guys like Bellfield, Stanback, and Jasper because UNLV is a damn good team.....I think team is the key word here.

Because they have nothing else around them. We have seen that if there is a player or two that is really talented, but nothing else around them, they might not have the best team. Just look at Ruben Douglas and those Lobo teams that weren't very good. But Ruben definitely deserved to be all-conference.

The conference standings award good team play. The all-conference team(s) awards strong individual play.

I guess my point is that there are other aspects of the game that these UNLV guys are doing well that may not show in the stats-LIKE DEFENSE and TEAMWORK. Obviously, UNLV is playing great defense-a large part of winning. Also if u look at Moss and Henderson, they have pretty shabby fg pcts. They're certainly capable of some very good games but lack consistency. ......And they aint no Ruben Douglas!

granger how is fenton on the newcomer but not freshman?

Just trying to mix things up. Needed a PG for my all-newcomer team and Jamal was the best available although there really is no true PG on the all-freshman team but oh well..

[Louiefan]

Sorry to say it, but Jimmer will be POY, he had it locked up before the season started. (hoping for the jinx, kind of like quoting FT stats before the guy steps up to the line)

[burquesid]

Gary IMO deserves to be 1st team, but the position is stacked with Jimmer and Willis.

[Dominic]

First Team:
Three Lobos!!
Darington Hobson, UNM
Jimmer Fredette, BYU

Roman Martinez, UNM

[Burro lobo]

Hobson shut down both players and yet you have them ahead of him for POY, take head to head play for these three and Hobson shines!

[ThickLobo]

First Team

Ro
Buttah
Gary
PMac
A.J.

Second Team

Nate
Will
Curtis
Fenton
Adams

Third Team

Who cares

Seriously though, Darrington is a lock for Newcomer and if the Lobos finish 1st, both he and Ro will be first team. Gary should be second PG behind Jimmer. Phil will need a couple more good games to make all-conference this year. Lobos finish first - SA is COY (5th place - yea right!), otherwise the sentimental choice takes it.

Just win baby! Look how many years the Lady Lobos and coaches have been slighted - but they took the hardware and the NCAA bids.

[Big Marv]

I'm sorry but Jimmer is not a better point guard than Gary.
He's a better shooter.

Not a better passer...
not a better ball handler...
not a better leader...
not a tougher guard...
not a smarter player

Gary wins 1st team point guard easily

[Dominic]

Has there ever been a two time MWC player of the year?
