[QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4911295, member: 55"]
Many have been saying this, but the awards are strange because of how balanced UConn's starting 5 is.  Let's be honest -- if we use the word "Valuable" literally -- as opposed to what it traditionally means when surrounded by "Most" and "Player" -- the most valuable player in the league by light years is Donovan Clingan. (For those of you who are business lawyers, it's very reminiscent of how, in Delaware courts, the word "material" has a different meaning than it does when used as part of the phrase "material adverse effect".)  And yet, his year does not look what we expect from a MVP.  Without knocking him, a huge part of his value is just being on the court and changing everything with his presence.

Anthony Carter had a really good year and, by all traditional metrics, deserves the award.  But does anyone believe that there is a single coach in the league who, if building a roster for a new season that starts tomorrow, wouldn't make Clingan their first pick?  Just a strange year (which will matter not an iota if we have nine more wins in us).
