"Tristen Newton, the Final Four’s ALLEGED Most Outstanding Player" -- Line made me laugh - nice writeup -- keeping your writing skills sharp -- As for Edey being the MOP of the tournament. No - He was awesome for the first 14 minutes, then was MIA on the offensive end when it counted the most for 12 straight minutes (0-6 FG). No Assists & limited impact on the game on the defensive end. Really wasn't dominant on the boards until late. And his late game scoring stretch were garbage points. A very deceiving 37 points, 10 rebound outing and I'm surprised that you were bamboozled by it. What does John Wooden say about "Competitive Greatness," "being at your best when your best is needed." You can't go for an 11 minute stretch without scoring a field goal and only two free throws during a championship game when the game was being decided. How did he make his teammates better this game? 0 assists with as many touches as he gets. C'mon - MVP - no! Great college career - yes. Unto the next stage where I predict he will struggle to find his place, but I do like his work ethic and the growth in his game. He will be an interesting player to follow in the NBA to see how he fits in.
Excellent analysis. I am in the minority, but there is a place for Edey in today’s NBA. His work ethic will not be denied, and neither will his 7’ 4”. He is plenty good enough.
