Seems pretty reasonable for us to get POTY, FOTY, Sixth-Man, and DPOY. But I kind of doubt they'd give each of them to someone from the same team. My guess is Clingan doesn't get POTY and they take 6Man from Hass.

Most of these stats are rate-based, so Clingan looks better than he does in some other stats due to missing the 5 games and playing less minutes. But I think if he plays like he has in this last stretch over the next 5 games, he may end up winning it anyways. He wasn't 1st in all 3 until recently. His RAPM has been climbing. But the coaches still rely on simple box score stats so Olivari will probably end up on the list and Carter will win it. The KenPom and Torvik models are designed more to mimic how voters look at it.

6MOTY there aren't very many obvious PPG candidates, so they could look to Hass as on the best team and stumble onto the right answer anyways.

I think the one that is the most shaky is DPOTY. A lot of the best players in the league are good 2-way players and so they could easily give it to Carter, Richmond, or Kalkbrenner again.

All our guys' stats are too even. You could have Newton a first-team all American and second-team all Big East. It's hard to differentiate, which is part of the reason we're so good.

i personally am rooting for newton to win BEPOY

Newton relegated to the HM list feels wrong.
