I know we are still in the first third of ACC play, but wanted to see what everyone thought about the ACC POY race thus far…
A lot to settle, but right now I think someone from this group is leading/will end up winning:
Leaders:
-
Matthew Hurt (Duke): 19.6 ppg, 8.5 rebounds
-
Carlik Jones (Lville): 17.2 ppg, 6.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists
Next Tier:
3. MJ Walker (FSU): 15.8 ppg
-
Keve Aluma (VT): 15.6 ppg, 7.0 rebounds
-
Jay Huff: 12.9 ppg, 5.8 rebounds, 2.8 blocks
-
Aamir Simms (Clemson): 12.6 ppg, 5.8 rebounds
Others: Sam Hauser, Devon Daniels (NC State), David Johnson (Lville), Jalen Cone (VT)
Hurt and the stats put him in the solid lead. Could definitely see Jay winning DPOY if he keeps up the block rate. I think first team is Hurt, Carlik Jones, MJ Walker, Huff and one other player from this group. I think Kihei ends up on second team.
