“Knight has turned in an impressive stat line this season, averaging 20.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.1 blocked shots per game. Since 1992, former No. 1 pick and NBA MVP Tim Duncan at Wake Forest in 1996-97 is the only player in college basketball with a season stat line of at least 20 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots per game. Knight has been even better in CAA games, averaging 21.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. Since 1992, no CAA player has averaged 20 points, nine rebounds and four assists per game in league action.”

Thank you for that statistics combination. I went in thinking JWF is by far the best in the CAA, and you're trying to convince me otherwise. I think when the Preseason POY does well and is on the first place team (even if Hofstra blows that they're much better than you), he'll win POY, but I'm fine with votes for Knight. I also thought Riller was clearly the second best guard. Now I see that he's close to Pusica. I think Riller scoring much more (albeit with more shots) and not having missed any games makes Riller better, but it's close. In addition to missing 7 games, Pusica is worse than last season. You could debate whether Knight or Riller will be Preseason POY next season.

I disagree. Cacok has a horrible assist/turnover even for a forward. Among forwads, I'd take Knight and Carter over Cacok. I might take Brantley and Seibring over Cacok also. Seibring shoots so many threes that it's hard to compare him to other forwards. He shoots threes .391.
Here are my teams in no particular order within the team:
Wright-Foreman, Knight, Carter, Riller, and Pusica
Cacok, Brantley, Seibring, Pierce, and Demir
Mosley, Fobbs, Santa Ana, Pemberton, and Gresham or Roland (it's hard to pick the second best on Northeastern because Roland scores more but Gresham has way more rebounds and assists)
Harper leads Drexel in scoring, but he doesn't shoot well or get many rebounds or assists. I didn't include anybody over 5 assists who aren't great scorers. Toews and Wynter don't shoot well. Buie shoots well, but I don't think he does enough to give Hofstra a third player.
