[QUOTE="Guest, post: 2037817, member: 748655"] Counter-counter argument :) - I agree with you about team defense but how many times has TSJ locked onto an opposing player, oftentimes the best, or one of the best, or the best shooter, and just knocked him out? I mean, just look what he did to Tominaga and then also proceeded to knock down 40 points. Incredible. The selection should be based on individual performance, not team performance. Though, I understand and respect your point and you are probably right about not having 2 All-Big 10 defenders. But I think one of them should have made it. And there are some arguments for Hawkin's inclusion as well. Did you see that Twitter post by Dariush Takhtehchian (granted, I don't know how reputable he is) that said, "Not having Coleman Hawkins on this list [All-Big Ten Defense] invalidates this list"? He may just be a big fan but I think he still has a point. [/QUOTE]
