What would be your ABT team right now?

[mushroomgod_1]

Going by the entire year, not just the BT season, right now, not projected, mine would be(regardless of position, not listed in any order):

1st Team:

C. Edwards.......24.5 ppg, .372 on 3s
E. Happ............19.3 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 4.7 apg....shooting .556
C. Winston........18.8 ppg, 7.4 apg....shooting .457 on 3s...3.
T. Cook.............17.3 ppg, 8.3 rebs...shoots .592, .718 on FTs
J. Morgan.........16.7 ppg, 7.8 rebs, 2.5 apg....shoots .639, .444 on 3s

Cook's probably the most controversial, but he's a pretty dominant player for a mediocre team. I still think Happ should be POY in the BT. Wisconsin's roster is awful.

2nd team:

A. Cowan..........17.2 ppg, 4.4 apg.....shoots .354 on 3s, .851 on FTs
Z. Simpson....... .7.1 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 5.9 apg, 3.30 a/to ratio
R. Langford.......18.2 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 2.6 apg...shoots .508
I. Brazdeikis......16.0 ppg, 5.3 rpg....shoots .396 on 3s, .776 on FTs
B. Fernando......14.0 ppg, 10.1 rbg, 2.3 blocks/game, 1.8 assists...shoots .664

Simpson only shoots .263 on 3s, 522 on FTs, thus 2nd team, not 1st. Fernando could be substituted for Cook.

3rd team:

J. Palmer............20.1 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 3.0 apg....shoots .333 on 3s, .810 on FTs
C. Stevens.........18.9 ppg, 8.1 rpg...shoots .434, .753 on FTs
V. Law................17.3 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 2.8 apg...shoots .356 on 3s, .836 on FTs
K. Wesson..........17.1 ppg, 6.9 rpg...shoots .539, .344 on 3s, .727 on FTs
N. Ward..............16.7 ppg, 6.6 rpg....shoots .655, .658 on FTs (tie)
J. Murphy............14.5 ppg, 12.0 rpg, 2.7 apg (tie)

C. Matthews would be my next man up. Poole and J. Smith are coming on strong, but their #s over the course of the year don't match up yet.

Honorable Mention:

Michigan: Matthews, Poole, Teske, Livers
MSU: Langford, Goins, McQuaid; Tillman
Maryland: Smith, Ayala
OSU: CJ Jackson, Mohammad, Washington, Woods, A. Wesson, Young
Wisconsin: Trice
Indiana: Phinisee, Smith
Iowa: J. Wieskamp, Bohanan
NW: D. Pardon
Minnesota: Coffey, Oturu
Rutgers: Baker; Omoruyi
Illinois: Frazier; Dosunmu; Bezhanishvili
Nebraska: Watson; Roby; Copeland
Purdue: Cline

All that work and no Lamar Stevens?

Never mind, you have his twin C. Stevens.

Never mind, you have his twin C. Stevens.

17.6 PER with a usage factor of 30+ % means he's a product of touches and minutes not proficiency or efficiency. Unless he has intangible winning qualities like X, Simpson for example - he doesn't - or the key player on a winning team - he's not - his production isn't worthy of even an honorable mention.

for perspective ..

Happ - 31.7
Morgan - 29.7
Romeo - 23.4
Edwards - 25.7
Palmer - 25.5

He's not anywhere near the ballpark.

I can't say it isn't a pretty good list.

I think it would be tough not to put a Michigan player first team at this point in the season. It would have to be Iggy since he is the one filling the gap of what they lost last year. I like Poole as a second steamer.

Also, I have to put Geo Baker as a 3rd team guy, as well as Josh Langford.

But the rest all looks pretty good, except at this point Fernando is more valuable than Cook even though Cook is a beast. But Md plays through Bruno like IU does Morgan.
