I can see an argument for him and the Dukie as well,but I can't hate that he landed the award. It's not like he didn't deserve it and this was some atrocity.
That was kinda my point from the get-go. A case could have been made for Vasquez/Scheyer/Delaney, and a solid case for all of them. But--my boy Double D won't take off his MD glasses long enough to even grant that much that everyone else seems to be rationally thinking.Quote:

Que sera-sera.
If it was close I would agree, Scheyer/Delaney didn't have the season Vasquez had. Frankly, it is not close. To say otherwise is just being a homer.
Wow...look who's talking!!!Quote:

When did I claim that, ever? I said he was worthy of it, just as worthy as Scheyer/Delaney. You keep forgetting that I thought Delaney was just as good of a choice b/c he's right up there with Scheyer/Vasquez, IMO...look, knowing me, and knowing my disdain for anything VT related, why in the world would I be giving Delaney his due unless 1) he deserved it, and/or 2) I honestly think he was a viable candidate? I'm such a homer I'm giving a VT guy his due, and in the same breath a MD guy his due. But, because I say all 3 guys are worthy of it, I'm a Duke homer b/c the 3rd guy is Scheyer???Quote:

Gotta agree on this one....the bias part :)
If someone loves a team or a player or a coach, and they get themselves convinced that people off of that team are the only options, slam dunk choices, its kind of bad to then turn around and call someone else a homer.
Not saying that he isn't player of the year, honestly haven't watched enough to give a greatly informed opinion. Just I don't often find cases where there is one person or player that is so clearly up and above any other options. You do find them but when the person expressing that opinion is a fan of that team, its a bit cloudy :)
Here are the stats, instead of just claiming someone is bias and acting like that matters, here are the cold, hard facts.
(PPG, APG, 3P&, RPG, BPG, SPG)
Vasquez:
19.6 6.3 .382 4.6 0.3 1.6
Scheyer:
18.9 5.2 .399 3.5 0.2 1.6
Delaney:
20.9 4.2 .320 3.6 0.1 1.2
im far from a Maryland fan, but he was the only logical choice for ACC POY
