Agree to disagree. Nice player on a mediocre team. You gotta be special good like Dixon is at Niva this year to make first team BE on a lower rung team. Nova doesn't win 5 games this season without Dixon.
Georgetown wouldn't have won much without Peavy either, that goes both ways. Plus, he is shooting 40% on 3s on good volume and close to 50% on all FGs in addition to being a lockdown defender and leading the Big East in steals. He also had the game winner against Nova at Finneran Pavilion and helped Georgetown sweep Nova. Here is his game log (his last 10 games were exceptional):

Peavy has been a monster to end the year (stepping up when Sorber went down). 23, 7, and 4.5 from February on (9 games) while being one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

Hard to reconcile that with 10 ppg in December for awards though.

This guy has “Bad Team Superstar” written all over him. He is a stats monster recently, but Georgetown has beaten Villanova (x2), Butler, Seton Hall and Providence since January 3. Feels more like a second or third team player.

I agree with the other selections.

I’m not upset with Peavy on the first team. He’s putting up numbers on a bad team, but he still put up the numbers. If it was Ashworth, Solo, or Kadary instead of him, I also wouldn’t be upset with it

50/50 on Kalkbrenner vs Luis for POY. Both had great seasons for successful teams

Last year I’m pretty sure the coaches voted Devin Carter just so Tristen Newton wouldn’t win. If they follow the same logic (beast player on a bad team), then it 100% should be Eric Dixon with no question. But I think that voting logic was a one-time thing

Do you really think they voted Carter so Newton wouldn’t win? UConn had a gluttony of talent last year, Carter carried PC.

The last time a BE POY wasn’t in the top 5 teams was 2000. Not counting the weird triple-winner year in 2021, the last time a BE POY wasn’t top 3 was 2016

In a year when the BE had 3 AP All Americans, I refuse to believe that the POY voting was honest in giving it to Devin Carter. He carried them, but carried them to .500 and an NIT berth

If Eric Dixon wins POY this year then I’ll admit I was wrong and the criteria is just different now. He’s had a better individual season and Nova is 1 game ahead of where PC was. If not, then I have to start asking why the BE voted with that set of criteria for 1 year and 1 year only

Carter was a ridiculous all around player and a lottery pick. I don’t think that because he was an outlier to a trend means the fix was on. He deserved it.

How about because in '24 the Big EAst's dominant team really didn't have A dominant player. Rational people could have thought any of our starters but Alex was UConn's MVP. When opinions split like that, a dominant best player on some other team has a path to winning.

Just to compare, Alex's season against the BE First Team selections.

Peavy on the First team is a stretch to me.
