SEC Player of the Year

[BengermanV]

I say, as of right now:

Patric Young
KCP
Wilby
Murph

Why Patric Young? Because we have the best defense in the conference, and he has 1.7 blocks per game, along with 10+ points a game and 6+ rebounds a game.

Just goes to show you how up and down the SEC has been this year, outside UF, is that 3-4 weeks ago Marshall Henderson probably wouldve been first or second name mentioned and yet now not one person has brought him up. I wonder if he's related to Geno Smith?

I almost brought up Henderson. He's averaging over 20 points/game in conference play, which is quite impressive. Plus, he lit up the conference's best defensive guard for 25 points. I watched that game, and Wilbekin played great D, but it didn't matter.

I mentioned him on the front page. He was my first team All SEC SG, so he was one of my five candidates. I picked Patric Young instead, but I mentioned him.

blah.....you never win with a guy like Henderson. He'll score 25, do little else and give up 20.

not worth it.

Can't say I agree with Young as the pick. Not that he's not formidable, but IMO he's not as responsible for the teams great defense as Wilbekin is.

To put Young in perspective, he's averaging just slightly less ppg than Noel did. But Noel has 48 more total rebounds and 60 more total blocks than Young - and Noel, obviously, hasn't been playing the last few weeks.

If its a Gator, I say Wilbekin or Rosario before Young. No disrespect to Patric though.

If there were one Gator I had to pick to win the award this year I would go with Scottie. Besides him being far and away the best defender in the league I think he's the one player on our starting 5 we could ill-afford to be without.

Plus we have been the most dominate team in the conference because we have been so dominate on defense and Scottie is a HUGE reason for that.
