I know we've had a couple threads about who the best player is, and so forth, but in this one, let's try to not make a case against certain players, but for the player you choose....

As much as I love Jodie Marcus is on the best team.

Nick Calathes #33 G

2008-09 STATS

PPG APG 3P% RPG BPG SPG

18.4 6.4 .424 5.3 0.2 2.1

 

Jodie Meeks #23 G

2008-09 STATS

PPG APG 3P% RPG BPG SPG

25.1 1.7 .419 3.6 0.1 1.3

 

 

Patrick Patterson #54 F

2008-09 STATS

PPG APG 3P% RPG BPG SPG

18.6 1.9 .000 9.1 1.8 0.7

 

 

Marcus Thornton #5 G

2008-09 STATS

PPG APG 3P% RPG BPG SPG

21 2.1 .403 5.5 0.4 1.6

 

Devan Downey #2 G

2008-09 STATS

PPG APG 3P% RPG BPG SPG

20.2 4.4 .356 2.7 0.1 3.1

I would rank them in the following order in POY voting....

 

1) Marcus Thornton

2) Devan Downey

3) Jodie Meeks

4) Nick Calathes

5) Patrick Patterson

Thanks HT, I was just getting ready to do that, just not with all the fancy colors and stuff...

I'd go with Calathes or Downey, leaning towards Calathes... Just the way he plays, you watch him and expect him to contribute every time down the floor in someway. Whether it be with a great pass, a big three, or an offensive rebound... Thornton and Meeks can score, but it games when they don't, they have no impact on the game. Calathes, and the same could be said for Downey, just makes things happen...

Meeks clearly.

 

Not just saying that because I'm a UK fan either. His numbers dont' lie.

I think Meeks wins it, but wouldn't be shocked if it's Thornton. When a team loses 1 game in the conference they probably should get the POY if he has those numbers.

I think Calathes may finish 4th if USC wins the East.

I'm saying Thornton just because of how LSU overachieved this year and he lead the charge. Remember where LSU had been the last couple of year and how they broke out to be the conference champs this year.

While Thornton deserves a big chunk of credit, you also have to look at who is no longer on the sidelines there...

Devan Downey has played his team from out of to into the tournament.

I would love for it to be Jodie. But at the time being, I would have to say Downey. The argument could be made for any of these guys and their infinite value to their squad, but SC is way better than I thought they would be, so he would probably get my vote (begrudgingly).
