OK hopefan can't keep quiet
The selection of Hayes and Johnson to 1st team all conference, over Dix and Williams, or even over Tankins or Tabb, makes absolutely no sense to me..
Its obvious my cumulative Quality points, whether by total, or by Quality points per game, did not lead to that... not even close..
I looked at it another way..
if I arbitrarily set 3 or better quality points in a game as a very good to outstanding game.. how many of these did the individuals have?
Dix 11
Williams 10
Tankins 8
Tabb 8
Hayes 7 but Hayes never had a 4.5, or a 5 score...no super games
Johnson 6
How many games UNDER 2 did each have? signifying only a fair, to lousy, game
Dix 3
Williams 3
Tankins 5
Tabb 6
Hayes 6
Johnson 8
in addition, let's compare Paulson and Wilcox for MVP
Wilcox Very good to great games 12
Paulson Very good to great games 8
Wilcox less than good games 3
Paulson less than good games 4
It may sound harsh, but Paulson basically won MVP over Wilcox because he shot.. a lot!!! Yes Paulson averaged 26 and wilcox 15 ppg..BUT, their points per field goal attempted number was virtually identical!!!!!
And, while it was Paulson's job to control the ball, his Assists to turnover ratio was a poor 0.9.. in other words more turnovers than assists (and he had two scorers in Goodman and Davidson to get the ball to)
Wilcox's job was to rebound, and he did... 11.4 per game, as well as contributing 2.7 blocks per game...
NO CONTEST
I'm not completely opposed to Paulson getting it...even over Wilcox. Wilcox was the 3rd leading scorer...on his team. I don't know if that would happen in any conference. I don't necessarily think the leading scorer on the team is always the best player, but give Paulson some credit. He handled the ball probably more than anyone and to only have a 0.9 a/to ratio is probably not all that bad.
Heck, I'm not even saying Paulson should've won it. But, if you're comparing Paulson to Wilcox, I'm probably giving it to Paulson. In fact, even before looking at your ratings, I may have given it to Dix. He scored a lot, but also averaged almost 4 rebs a game, tons of assists and steals, and solid a/to ratio.
