I still think Bolden is in the conversation.

 

Averaging 20 ppg, 5 rpg, 5 apg and is easily one of the top 3 players in the state for 2015.

 

If he can lead Holmes to the state tournament and they win a game or two, hard to argue him not being a finalist.

 

He should score his 2,000th point in the next two or three games. Only 47 away.

 

I was curious to see how close he was to 2000 I knew he was close but didn't know it was that close!

Would've likely already hit 2K if not for the bogus t in Louisville for hanging on the rim after a dunk that forced him to sit two games

True! On the bright side, it looks like Beetle will hit 2000 on his home court! Unless he drops 47 Thursday night at Grant

Earlier in the season I was saying Ray shouldn't win the award but as of late, especially with his performance in the close games and against Aric Holman I think he should take it home. At least I hope.

Would've likely gotten it there regardless as districts are at Holmes this year as well.

I still think Ray is the favorite. He is the best player in the state, regardless of what his numbers (13.3 ppg, 8.7 rpg) are.

He's had back to back 20 point games. A few more I think will solidify his case. The last one coming head to head vs q Mr. Basketball candidate only helps IMO.

Justice........this thing's more political than the State Legislature. Spaulding maybe but going to Louisville in this "bleed blue state" won't help the cause.

He's been making a late run, no doubt.

If someone goes and looks at their games they will see why his numbers have been So low. Not only was the system working against him, but most of the games were run aways.

I think an argument can be made for up to 10 players. Ultimately name recognition and politics come into play so that is why I feel it is between Perry, Justice, Spalding and Simmons.

 

I think Justice will win it.

If defense is valued, it shouldn't be that clear cut and dry. If only point production then I believe cam justice will win going away.

I have a hard time seeing anyone but Spalding unless one of the others on this list or someone like Ballard's Jalen Perry gets to Rupp and just blows up once there. If we've learned anything over the years, it's that a State Championship run can seal the deal for a player's Mr. Basketball candidacy.

Name recognition is valued more than anything else. If defense is valued then Colton Elkins should win it next year.

I think it is voted on before the Sweet 16 now. Ruthsatz would have been an acceptable choice last season if voting was done after the Sweet 16.
