No DPOY for Myles

[RUby RED]

Morsell from UMD named the winner. Interesting choice — know you can’t necessarily quantify lock down 1v1 D but he doesn’t crack the top 10 in steals, blocks or any of the advanced metrics I can find. Feels like Myles got shafted here

Shocker. Did Bo Boroski get a vote?

Idiotic

I swear we could have Bob Cousy, Dolph Schayes, Bill Russell, Julius Erving, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson at Rutgers and they wouldn’t get Big Ten awards or first team.

 

[G- RUnit]

That’s difficult to comprehend!
So unfair.

There is a way for Myles the Monster to reply!! It's called showing up (which he always does) for the B1G Tourney and then the dance!

Still think Myles has a shot at the NBA or at worst the developmental league (once he's completed his masters).

Highway robbery.

Big Ten Network was talking about Morsell about a week ago and how he was good on D. Not surprised he won.

agreed. He doesnt even lead anything for his own team.

Morsell is 4th on Maryland in avg/Rebounds (behind 2 other guards)
...is 3rd on the team in avg/Steals (behind 2 other guards)
...is tied for 2nd on the team in avg/blocks

Id argue Jacob Y should be on the defensive team and he basically matches Morsell (JY avg .8 more steals---and led the conference overall and DM avg .8 more rebounds than the other)

Myles had a big drop off from the early part of the season.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

When he was in there, Myles owned the boards and was good shot blocker but the fouling was just a real and continuing issue. That said, I know zero about Morsell's defensive prowess.

Can you elaborate? Early part he had some serious dqf issues, and later on do inated games. From a defensive perspective, I thought its the opposite of what you are saying.

Myles had a big drop off from the early part of the season.

He averaged 3 blocks/gm for the second half of the season (last 12 games) — and that was all in Big Ten play. Not sure what you’re getting at. Had 4+ blocks in half those contests

Myles---The player other teams would least like to face. A game changer.

No one I have seen in the league who impacts games from a D standpoint more.

One more year and works on the drop step and jump hook and All B 10 and not just Defense

Fouling wasn't so bad this year, tbh. He fouled less than Mathis, adjusted for minutes played. If you take out the Boroski whistle-fest of an OSU game, he had just 3.8 pf/40 min in the other 23 contests (which is about where McConnell is at).
