My thoughts about players like Tuck and Stokes being invited has more to do at this point of their >careers with their value as practice players than their prospects of making the team. They have a good idea of how to play in a team concept, practice at a very >high energy level and are willing to do the things that don't show up in box scores.

Yet even still players who play hard, practice hard, hustle and produce were not invited. This is a Uconn board and I am a Uconn fan but the intangibles argument doesn't cover skipping over players who have just as good intangibles with higher production. As I said before, there is some politics involved in the selection process.

Given the intangibles argument would you agree that the "best player" isn't necessarily the one with the best stats? Should intangibles - team play, hustle, impact etc go into determining who is the best player?
