No doubt that Dunn has been great, but Hilliard is the POY.

Harrison not going to be a third team selection. He'll be a first team.

Harrison - 1st team over Pointer but love what SDP is bringing to SJU this year. Copeland over Booth. Dunn in lead but if Nova beats PC again and limits Dunn, or finishes 14-2, DH has a good shot.

Garrett JR for most improved? I dont see that, solid last year and just a little more solid this year. You have pointer on the first team. If that is the case than he should be Most improved by a large margin.

It is very tough to put these teams together this year. Lot of good players, but Harrison is not gonna be put on the third team. 19 pts and 5.5 rbs a game during conference play.

I agree Most Improved has to be Pointer. He is playing now like Sampson SHOULD have been playing. If Sampson played like Pointer he would have been drafted to the NBA and not just brought in order to tank. He has more natural talent than Pointer but Pointers intensity and heart evens the playing field.

Harrison is what? Second in the conference in scoring? And people think he'll be on the 3rd team. hahaha

I debated between Gibbs and Harrison for 2nd team. Still some time left.

I don't know how anyone could say that harrison belongs on the first team over smith riveria, hilliard or Dunn. That's absurd.

Harrison scores a lot of points, but he's kind of a ball hog and I would much rather give the ball to gibbs or smith Rivera for the final shot of the game. I don't dislike harrison, but the me-first mentality is not something that I find a positive and he lacks overall defensive hustle. He is all about scoring, and other players are better than him.



That said, I don't know how Garrett Jr is not considered extremely improved. Sure he was decent last yr, but this year he has been special. Pointer and Ochefu would also be good picks along with jalen reynolds.
