[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1562107, member: 517079"] I think/hope that those giving out awards would value more highly the team leader that puts up good stats and leads his team to an easy victory over a top 10 opponent vs. the Trae Young types that put up massive stats while losing (not that it was necessarily his fault). After all, Brunson did beat out Young for the Wooden Award in 2018. Based on who has won in the past, it appears that team success is definitely a big component of who wins. I would much rather have the player that puts up the stats Ayo just did (which were still awesome!!) while playing the way he did (within the team) vs. the guy that scores 7 more points but has to force the issue 10 more times to get there. Edit: Didn't see your prior post about his stat line being impressive. I agree with you that he may need to do more to win given the loaded talent in NCAABB this year, but I hope he maintains a focus on winning and not awards. [/QUOTE]
