Otis was robbed.

 

[GreenLantern]

Meh

 

[liem.le.3388]

Cox on the third team as a 10 and 5 player?

 

[EXpatriot13]

Cox over Thompson? That's just stupid.

 

[gmutom]

I have no major beef with Chartouny getting ROY over Otis, but Shevon definitely should have made at least 3rd team. I agree with others here that Thompson was Cox blocked. No coach in the league not named Wade would take Cox over Shevon.

 

[gmujim92]

Grayer got jobbed big time.

I'm certainly not a vcu fan, but I do think Cox had a very good year whenever I saw him on tv. Smoother on offense (he positively dominated the last 5 minutes in an early win against St. Joe's) than Shevon with fewer turnovers and blocked a lot of shots as well. While I would have voted for Shevon, I'm not that surprised at the outcome.

Hope the A-10's coaches enjoy watching their guards get schooled by Otis and Jaire for the next 3 years.

Neither got the respect they deserved.

There will be atonement.

 

[gmujim92]

Honestly, the biggest snub was St. Bona's Dion Wright not at least making third team.

He deserved it ahead of Cox and Thompson.

I am upbeat about the prospect of having them playing together for 3 more years! I'm also intrigued with Abrams--very streaky, for sure, but great hops. In time, maybe will develop a backdoor alley-opp for him like we did for Gabe Norwood.

They all need to use it as incentive to show the voters were wrong.

 

[emjayar08]

When you have a player that is #1 in the country in Rebounds/40 minutes, and he doesnt even get the slightest of a nod on your little awards show, thats f**kin bullshit.

 

[EXpatriot13]

I hope the guys who got snubbed go offfff in Brooklyn. (not knocking kid from Fordham - well deserved)

 

[GSII]

More gas to fuel the fire in some of our players' bellys.

 

[MasonFanatic]

I think I'm most upset about Grayer. Good grief.

Otis had a much heavier load to carry at Mason.

Looking at their head to head match up, they both shot equally as poorly against each other (1-5 for Otis; 1-8 for Chartouny), both wound up with around the same number of point (7 for Otis; 8 for Chartouny), the difference being Fordham has more shooters right now.

Overall, Otis has a better field goal percentage and better 3-point field goal percentage for the season while playing over 300 more minutes. Chartnouny's assist totals are really impressive, but if Grayer was shooting 41% from 3 and Thompson or Marko was shooting 65% from the field, Otis probably would have 2 to 3 more assists per game too.

Chartouny is on the better team right now and that probably pushed him over the top (more wins = more votes).

 

[Washingtonian]

Chartouny didn't play in as many games as Otis did. That should have factored into this.

 

[gmujim92]

You're right. Chartouny missed five of Fordham's 18 conference games and still got ROY. Nonsense.

There is not a point guard in the league who is a better fit for Mason than Otis. I'd take him over any A10 pg I saw all season (no disrespect to any other pg, just saying.)
