[James]

Jalen Adams ...Can't be too angry because all those guys have better numbers than him. hell have an opportunity to show out in front of all the coaches who snubbed him this weekend...

 

[Leebo]

Daniel Hamilton is currently #1 in kenpom AAC player of the year, so there's that.

 

[GuttyWolf]

Miller was the best player on our team in AAC play. Plain and simple.

 

[James]

Daniel Hamilton is currently #1 in kenpom AAC player of the year, so there's that.

Miller is second in win shares and leads the conference in PER too... Should have been first team or second at the minimum

 

[UConnSwag11]

Didn't someone post all shonns stats and how leads the conference in almost everything?

 

[Bryan Lord]

No respect for the 6th place finishers?! Smh.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Individual awards are nice for thos selected but in order of importance they are really meaningless.. I'm actually a team stat guy mostly W and L's

Miller is second in win shares and leads the conference in PER too... Should have been first team or second at the minimum

Miller is the head scratcher probably Ivy League bias.but remember
That BYU guy beat Kemba for POY
The Knicks didn't sign him to a second 10 day contract.
Kemba is leading the Hornets to respectability so much for honors.

That would probably be Hamilton.

He is 3rd in rebounds, 4th in assists, 8th in assists to TO ratio, 1st in defensive rebounds

Miller shows up on the following leaders lists: 14th in scoring, 3rd in FG %, 7th in FT %, 14th in blocks

 

[ConnHuskBask]

What about the Elmore Index!!??

Agreed. Miller definitely deserved 1st or 2nd team.

@UConnSwag11

Miller is top 5 in a lot of the advanced metrics:

1st in PER: 25.9
2nd in TS%: .635
2nd in Off Rating: 130.9
4th in Def Rating: 91.3
3rd in Off Win Shares: 3.0
6th in Def Win Shares: 2.0
2nd in Total Win Shares: 5.0
1st in Win Shares per 40: .246
4th in +/-: 8.8

 

[tykurez]

Miller the biggest snub - otherwise I have no issues with that list

 

[Bryan Lord]

What about the Elmore Index!!??

Hes not releasing his final index until the AAC quarter final game to get maximum exposure.

The fact that Jimmer Fredette won NPOY over Walker is still one of the most galling things I can recall about UConn hoops. Given that we've won 4 titles but never had a NPOY, him not winning the award that year bothers me more in hindsight than Tate George dropping the ball out of bounds, George Mason taking out Rudy and company, and even the NCAA keeping us out of the tourney (since I attribute our 2014 title in part to the ban, I can live with that BS decision).

About the only more galling thing is us getting left out in the musical chairs game that is conference realignment.

Forget Jimmer, have you guys all forgotten that Ben Hansborough won Big East Player of the Year over Kemba that year?

 

[Shabazzkets]

I obviously blocked that out.

We had a long discussion over this in another thread a few weeks ago. It's pretty funny in retrospect, but it wasn't that crazy. Kemba and the team struggled mightily at times during the BE regular season.

Yup, Hansbrough actually had a pretty decent case for BE POTY over Kemba.

Stealing these numbers from @CallMeBruce:

Kemba - 21.7ppg on .395 shooting, 4.5apg, 25.2 PER, 3.2 WS
Hansbrough - 20.7ppg, on .509 shooting, 4.7apg, 29.0 PER, 3.9 WS

And Hansbrough's team finished 2nd in the regular season while Kemba's team finished 9th.

More than decent, he deserved it. But I guess the "Where are they now?" card has come into play

It came into a play about 6 weeks after that, when Ben was eating popcorn at home and watching Kemba hold the Final 4 MOP trophy.

Are those Big East only numbers? I looked up the numbers and they were not kind for full season.

Yep - Big East only.

 

[upstater]

Kemba was fouled a lot in Big East play, but in typical BE fashion, it was a scrum down there.

I'm convinced that this largely explains the discrepancy in record. To go .500 in the conference and then be undefeated outside of it?

That is NOT an anomaly.
