Test your knowledge - MVC basketball POYs

by **MVCfans** » July 31st, 2011, 7:36 am

Found this on twitter from @MVCSports - fun little time killer. Name as many MVC basketball players of the year as you can in 6 minutes. I'm embarrassed to admit how many I forgot.

Interesting quiz. I had forgotten how many MVC POY from the 70's and 80's went on to star in the NBA.

33 but 3 were lucky. I think I would make 35 but I spent too much time trying to spell one in particular. How bad was the Valley in '96.....yikes. That kid wouldn't make a roster in the 80s.

Anthony Parker has had a 15 year pro career, and still plays in the NBA today.

Parker has had a solid career but an odd one. I cant think of another player who started his career in the NBA to fall out of favor, then go to europe, then come back and automatically be a starter. He has been a solid member of the Cavs (which being a pacers fan I see alot of) for years.

Again with the mistakes.....I intended to reference '97, not '96. Parker was indeed special.

Daisy may not be as good as a lot of the guys up there but he was still a stud that averaged like 20 points a game that season. Beat out Rico Hill for player of the year. You might not be saying that if the rest of his team wasn't so bad.

I got 39/43.....missed 1969, 1986, 1994 and 1995.

Jason Daisy was a prolific scorer.
