The 15 Wooden award finalists were announced today, TJ somehow didn't make the list (neither did Paige) but Parker, Ennis, Fair and Wiggins did. Stupid

not Fair

3/8/2014 9:43:11 PM

Warren wasn't even in the top 30 of that list, so it's no surprise he didn't make the top 15.

3/8/2014 9:53:11 PM

Parker won it. Hype off the charts after first half I'm sure.

3/8/2014 9:55:43 PM

Yep he has it on lockdown at this point.

3/8/2014 9:58:09 PM

call me crazy, but I think TJ is better than Julius Randle

3/8/2014 9:58:11 PM

why couldnt paige suck ass when forcing shots like this against us

3/8/2014 11:01:11 PM

Because we bumped the Chapel Hill Loses thread.

3/8/2014 11:03:43 PM

yep there goes POY

3/8/2014 11:09:14 PM

1 point by Parker = 1.5 by Warren is the exchange rate

3/8/2014 11:17:27 PM

It's extremely hard to win POY from a middle of the pack team unless a player is just unquestionably the best in the league or the top teams don't have a clear star. Warren's having a great year and clearly carried our team, but the same can be said of Paige and his team's done better and beaten Warrne's twice. Parker's the most talented/hyped which helps, though he did have a lull midseason. Ennis and Fair will split the Syracuse vote. I think it'll come down to Parker or Paige with Warren a close third, unfortunately.

3/8/2014 11:47:29 PM

Why did TJ have to get screwed by Parker having a huge game against UNC. Now all the voters that were on the fence will obviously pick Parker because of the Duke/UNC mystique.

3/9/2014 7:13:05 AM

The fact that voting was originally supposed to be done last night tells you all you need to know. TJ never had a shot.

3/9/2014 8:05:14 AM

I thought the voting was originally due by 5:00 today, but they moved it back til tonight until all games are concluded?

3/9/2014 9:51:19 AM

I heard voting got moved forward to 5am this morning.

3/9/2014 10:01:01 AM

TJ is only good because he is a ball hawg. At least Jabari can pass.

3/9/2014 10:19:36 AM

I heard they are only counting games that tipoff at 9pm

I mean....is this even true?

3/9/2014 11:54:19 AM

^ Yes. Then people asked the obvious question "shouldn't you wait until all the games are done before voting?" And the ACC went "oh yeah. That's true. We'll do that."

3/9/2014 1:04:35 PM

First team all ACC:

Marcus Paige (UNC)
Joe Harris (UVA)
Jabari Parker (DUKE)
CJ Fair (SYR)
KJ McDaniels (CLEM)

Second team all ACC:

Tyler Ennis (SYR)
Rodney Hood (DUKE)
Lamar Patterson (PITT)
Olivier Hanlan (BC)
James Michael McAdoo (UNC)

Third team all ACC:

Eric Atkins (ND)
Dez Wells (MD)
Rion Brown (MIA)
Daniel Miller (GT)
Rakeem Christmas (SYR)

Honorable Mention:

TJ Warren (NCSU)

3/9/2014 2:41:09 PM

^ is that real? I can't believe they didn't wait for all the games to be played

3/9/2014 2:59:24 PM

AHAHA, for a tiny split second, I thought that was for real. There was like a flash of light, and I momentarily blacked out.

3/9/2014 3:01:24 PM

maryland was smarter than i gave them credit for. the acc is a joke of a conference.

3/9/2014 3:03:46 PM

PLz dont leave me.

"Mike Waters @MikeWatersSYR · 6m ago I didn't vote for Warren for two reasons -- Fair is a senior (has better body of work) and Pack is 8th place"

3/9/2014 7:07:23 PM

Player of the Year

3/9/2014 7:08:53 PM

so, his performance in previous years made you consider him for an award that is based on only this year. makes sense

3/9/2014 7:09:09 PM

I voted for Vandenberg over Jabari because Vandy is a senior

3/9/2014 7:12:58 PM

^^^^ lol at that logic. And I fully admit that other players have a strong case for POY...Parker, Paige, McDaniels. But I don't even think Fair has a strong case in comparison to those other guys.

[Edited on March 9, 2014 at 7:18 PM. Reason : Lol he's a Syracuse writer and UNC grad]

3/9/2014 7:16:25 PM

Sorry TJ, leading the ACC in pts and fg% is not Wooden finalist material.

[Edited on March 9, 2014 at 7:18 PM. Reason : s]

3/9/2014 7:17:55 PM

Ennis could have been POY type if it werent for cuse's tragic downfall. He's been one of the best floor generals the league can have and has facilitated CJ Fair having consistent numbers every game.

[Edited on March 9, 2014 at 7:19 PM. Reason : .]

3/9/2014 7:19:00 PM

Mike Waters is a dick. He said he voted for Erick Green POY last year. ummm didn't VT finish dead last?

3/9/2014 7:20:09 PM

Watching the complete shit that he is surrounded by makes me appreciate him even more...

3/9/2014 7:20:35 PM

He's got 27 points and I'm thinking to myself "that's nowhere near enough TJ"

that's how spoiled I've become to his greatness

3/9/2014 7:24:12 PM

what makes me sad is to think about who will step up and be our lead scorer next year.

TJW is to sotally gone. Why wouldn't he? they mentioned there are NBA scouts at this low level ACC game. why? TO SEE WARREN. Not only that but the dude is having an explosive game right now.

3/9/2014 7:26:33 PM

^ yep

there's no 25 ppg guy waiting in the wings. I'm not even sure who will be our 15 ppg guy

^^Trevor Lacey?

3/9/2014 7:30:14 PM

I hope so! if anything, it'll be good to have a consistent 3P shooter again

3/9/2014 7:31:14 PM

I expect/hope Turner and Lacey will be our go to guys next year. We'll need the freshmen bigs to develop more offensively this offseason

3/9/2014 7:39:19 PM

his jerseys goes in the rafters regardless of whether he wins any awards

3/9/2014 7:42:51 PM

Name the court after him

3/9/2014 7:43:24 PM

good god, this guy just dominates the conference right now in scoring, its almost inhuman. against ANY team.

im prepared to riot if this guy doesnt get ACCPOY

3/9/2014 7:43:29 PM

The ball still had some TJW on it when Lee shot it. That's why it went in.

3/9/2014 7:47:46 PM

back to back 41 point games

3/9/2014 7:52:34 PM

what's the ESA/RBC/PNC scoring record?

3/9/2014 7:53:41 PM

good god almighty. an absolute travesty if this guy doesn't get POY.

3/9/2014 7:56:23 PM

prepare yourself dude. because I have no faith that he'll win it
