Since we're talking stats and being biased:

 

Wing-Hagen Tyler-Boyle County:

 

20.9 PPG

53.3% FG (97-182)

46.2% 3FG(30-65)

82.4% FT(42-51)

7.2 RPG

 

 

PG-Jeremiah Bell-Boyle County

 

19.1 PPG

56.1% FG (87-155)

35.1% 3FG(13-37)

73.6% FT(53-72)

4.8 RPG

 

Unsure of his assists/game average.

I'd go with Jalen Perry today.

Maybe we ought to look at Carson Williams numbers if this is merely a numbers based award.

Your a fan of Drew and your close minded

 

Who? Me?

I don't mean to in any way diminish Drew McDonald's abilities or accomplishments, but I think the fact that he is going to NKU will hurt his chances of winning Mr. Basketball. I think it is totally unfair, but unfortunately some will see that as an indication that he may not be as good as others going elsewhere. Again, totally unfair. But I don't have a vote.

I'm thinking you're missing that Jalen Perry's team defeated Drew McDonald's team when they went head to head.

 

Oh, my bad, I forgot that once one candidate's team defeats another candidate's team they are no longer under consideration

I think we should amend that. Silly senior rule. Mr. Basketball should be the best player, but I digress.

I agree completely...now that would make a great debate. Throwing in Quentin Goodin, Eli Wright, Carson Williams, and Braxton Beverly in the discussion.

As of today, and based solely on the stats below, the frontrunners for Mr. Basketball appear to be Justice, McDonald, Sutton, Rose and Perry in that order (but there is a lot of basketball left to be played). It's a toss-up between Justice and McDonald because they play two different positions, but both are great shooters getting it done at a very high level. Sutton doesn't beat McDonald because his higher scoring average is merely a function of taking more shots than McDonald. Sutton probably gets the nod over Rose and Perry at this point because of his rebounding. Rose and Perry are very close, with Rose having arguably better stats than Perry.

I think we should amend that. Silly senior rule. Mr. Basketball should be the best player, but I digress.

 

How is "best" defined?

• best stats?

• on the best team (beats the other candidates teams)?

• commits to the best college?

Avid Tiger may blow a gasket.

You seem to be sold on the stats as the measuring stick. I would say that it's more than that. Sometimes that can't be quantified statistically.

Also:

 

How critical or valuable is the player to his team's success?

 

Should a player get credit for having a great high school career or is it just based on his performance his Senior year?

 

Do you downplay points per game and value shooting percentages more to find who is the best player?

 

How do you compare guards vs. big men (guards usually get more assists, big men get more rebounds)?

 

Do you consider the difficulty (or easiness) of the schedule the player's team played?

 

Is it a requirement for the player's team to make it to the Sweet 16?

Oh, my bad, I forgot that once one candidate's team defeats another candidate's team they are no longer under consideration

 

 

That's how I roll. Be glad I don't have a vote. As of today Perry would get my vote before Drew.
