First team has to be those five. You left Odom off the frosh team or else I'd agree.

I did forget Odum. I am a jays fan so I put Manigat. Odum is Redshirt freshmen and for someone reason I thought he was a sophomore. My bad.

I'd also like to think Mamadou could get some support as well for honors.

That was almost a mirror image. I think Anthony James is a good player, but he produced more last year then David Kyles did. Also Anthony James has only played the way he is half of the season.

I think he will be honorable mention.

Huh? he averaged like 1 point per game last year. And he has been very good this year from start to finish. He was our leading scorer for the first half of the season, before Kwadzo's scoring went up in the conference games.

I can't go with Kyles for Most Improved. If we could only count the first half of the season, he would have been a lock. His disappearance later in the season has left him at about the same place he was a year ago.

Ryan might get the nod over Murry on the 2nd team based on Ryan's ppg. That's about the only way to put him above Murry. Murry has had some problems this year that have been easily noticed because he tended to have them on the last possessions of some one-possession games. I think Murry is a more complete player than Ryan. Points isn't the only consideration, but it's the easy one because it's so obvious.
