How are these actually picked? I think throwing darts would be a slight improvement.

Porter obviously deserved it. Not sure how Delph gets in over him (plus Porter put up 29/12 just last week vs. Delph)
Boykins is a first or second teamer, at worst; he doesn't get respect bc he doesn't have gaudy points per game.
Jackson is a good player that will be a star. Not 2nd team at this point.
Beard on the list is comical.
Walters should have been 3rd team.
How does Justin Johnson get first team? Hes borderline to even make the list. Coleby is a better player.

Voting done by all 12 coaches and a panel of media and play-by-play announcers.
What did you have a problem with? Just wondering.

Listed some reasons above. I don't really like meda and PBP announcers having a vote after listening to their commentary.

Personally, I like having media and announcers vote, especially ones who see every team and pay attention.

Beard = 39th
Penava = 52nd
Dixon = 92nd
Caver = 4th (he's actually a really good defender)
Lee = 48th
This is the same reason why Marcus Evans was picked all-defensive despite being a terrible defender both his freshman and sophomore years. If you looked at individual defense, the team would look something like this:
Justin Johnson
Ahmad Caver
Keaton Wallace
Byron Frohnen
Xavier Green or Alante Holston
I get that it's really hard to quantify defensive impact, especially because you can't measure stuff like how well a guy knows his zone assignments, for example, but I'd love for the conference to actually try to reward good individual defenders. And that's my weekly rant about something that is of absolutely no importance whatsoever and has no impact on anything.
Where did Boykins rank? I'm surprised he's not up there.

Xavier Green does not belong on an All Defensive Team, and I don't care who can pull up what stat that reflects he has good numbers. There are many others that play much better defense than he does. Not trying to knock him - he's only a freshman - but still.

Boykins is actually 108/109, surprisingly, considering he's been fine his entire career. I wanna emphasize that this doesn't mean he's a bad defender, just a bad defender when measuring end results. The data I'm using is flawed in the sense that it can only quantify possession-ending plays. So on plays where Boykins' man shoots, turns it over, draws a foul, etc., he's really struggled this year. You guys also gave up 1.04 PPP when he was on the court but only 0.96 when he was off the court.
RE: Men's Basketball All Conference Teams Announced - KAjunRaider - 03-05-2018 04:23 PM
MT's best on-ball defender is Ed Simpson............ but he lost his starting role to Antwain Johnson, due to his low-point production offensively

Yes, exactly all creditability this guy has is gone...Nothing against Coleby but Justin is by far a better overall player than Dwight...Justin absolutely deserved first team...I think the teams are about right, not sure the love for Beard though? Also would have Hollingsworth on all Defensive Team....
RE: Men's Basketball All Conference Teams Announced - ThreeifbyLightning - 03-05-2018 04:32 PM
Surprised Walters didn't at least make third team. I haven't looked at it statistically but imagine he's up there in rebounding. No one in the league could guard him but he was probably hurt by minutes due to foul trouble and King's volume of shots.
RE: Men's Basketball All Conference Teams Announced - elw4796 - 03-05-2018 04:34 PM
You know what, I'm actually deleting my post. Individual, result-exclusive defensive metrics are way too inaccurate. Using a combination of that + another source of data, I think I was a little harsh. Instead, the all-defensive team should be something like this:
Justin Johnson (good defender by any metric)
Ajdin Penava (the difference in Marshall's PPP allowed when he's on the court vs. off the court is remarkable)
Byron Frohnen (good by any metric)
Brian Beard (Same as Penava...FIU is substantially better defensively when he's on the floor)
Brandon Walters (Same as Penava and Beard)
Hollingsworth was also really impactful. As was Jailyn Ingram. And AJ Lawson.
