Official MVCfans.com Prediction - MVC Player of the Year

[musiccitybulldog]

Seems like a lot of Dis on SIU in this board. Fay will be among the scoring leaders for the MVC---probably won't win unless his team picks up--but should have been listed.

Do you really see Fay as that type of player? I just don't see him being the go to type of guy. He's a very good player who fills a role but I'm not sure that's the one. Obviously you've seen him play more than I and I'm not trying to belittle anyone. He's just never struck me as the one you can ride every game.

I would throw Fay in the mix. I read on a Saluki site he scored 20+ points each of the last 4 games last year. Plus it seems he can be very scrapy and hit some three's at opportune times. From times I have seen him play he can step up at the end of games and put SIU in position to win. Fays point average was as much or more as some others leading on the list.

I have trouble comprehending even SIU fans touting Fay for All-Valley. Second team is even a stretch, although he might get that as sort of a "lifetime achievement" award.

If Fay can average 13 points, 6 boards, and a block - then I'd have to think that Gabe Blair (WSU's apparent 6th man) would be able to average 16, 9, and 3 playing with the same group Fay is playing with.

I believe Ricks from MSU will emerge, eventually, as the most influential player in the conference.

little Eddie,
Werent you one of Kelly's biggest proponents when your bro was with the Sycs...I don't think he will be POY because I think the Sycs will spread the ball around...

[Little Eddie]

I trust my bro's b-ball judgment more than anyone...and he was a big fan of Jake and his work ethic...he felt that there was definitely a possibility for Jake to make it in the NBA. I feel as if Jake was on the verge of figuring out his place on the team last year and was about to start making some noise. In the SIU game he was being more assertive and defintely showing signs of coming out of his little funk...but that's when the injury came. Prior to that I really felt as if he was prone to turning the ball over via the carry or the offensive foul...I'm guessing from maybe trying to do too much?

I still like the kid alot but I think you reitterate my feelings as ISU will likely spread the ball around giving Kelly less opportunities to put up POY numbers...he could sneak into 2nd team if he really excels at getting assists...low double digit points is what I'm thinking...I'd like to see about 7 assists a game as well to go w/ that. It remains to be seen.

Did I just see some more Kelly-NBA talk?

Did I just see some more Kelly-NBA talk?

It is from last year...but yes, you did hear more NBA talk regarding Kelly. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility due to his height and his handles. If he recovers from his knee injury fully then I could see him getting a shot at it. Surely wouldn't be surprised if he ended up there at some point...

I like Weems a lot, and think it will come down to Weems and Stutz. The "homer" in me is pulling for Stutz.

I like Murry because of his ability to stuff the statsheet and quietly take over games.Its rare when a player can impact the game on both ends of the floor,its fun to watch.You don't realize what he's done until the next day when you read the boxscores.

I believe there are some really good players in this league, and I think this year could be the year that someone wins it not from the championship team.


Not that I am convinced WSU is going to win the league, but I am convinced that the league MVP won't be a Shocker.
