There's obviously no comparison between what they did after college, but if we're just comparing what they did before the NCAA tournament in 2010-2011 (the basis for NPOY voting), I think Jimmer's selection is understandable.  Both had great stats, but Jimmer scored more points with better shooting percentages.  And although Kemba faced tougher competition, BYU's strength of schedule was very respectable (#25 nationally), and BYU had a significantly better record, which often gets factored in.  Anyway, this isn't the place to debate Jimmer Fredette's NPOY candidacy, nor do I have any dog in that fight whatsoever.  Maybe he deserved it, or maybe he didn't.  (If he was worse than Kemba Walker, that's not much of an indictment of him.)  Either way, I'm just saying that no one wins the player of the year award without having a great year.

I rooted for Kemba Walker, rooted against Danny Ainge, and didn't care one way or the other about Jimmer Fredette.  But they all had great senior seasons in college.
