CAA Awards Predictions

[mat1992]

Coach of the Year: Depends on the final game but King Rice (Monmouth was picked 6th)and Zach Spiker of Drexel (picked 10th) would be the favorites and I'd give the winner to whoever finishes in fourth.

ROY: PG Preston Edmead (Hofstra), Avg 15.8ppg, 4.5apg

First team

G Erik Pratt (20.4ppg), SB, 43% FG, 4.4apg

G Cruz Davis (20.2ppg), Hofstra 41.4% FG, 4.4apg, Should be POY

F Lewis Walker, NCAT, 19.8ppg, 52.6% FG

G Jlynn Counter, Charleston, 44.7% FG16.9ppg, 6.7apg, 1.9 SPG (POY possibility?)

C Patrick Wessler, UNCW, 60.6% FG, 14.8ppg, 10rpg, 1.2bpg

Not going to go through second and third team, but my guess is Nolan Hodge (UNCW), Shane Blakeney (Drexel), DJ Smith (Campbell), Jason Rivera-Torres (Monmouth), Edmead (Hofstra), Christian Reeves (Charleston) are all ahead of Tyler Tejada (15.8ppg,5.4rpg, 2.3apg,38.5% FG), who I assume will get third team.

I doubt we get anybody on the All-Defensive team. Doumbia (31 steals, 14 blocks) would have been the closest thing, but Towson is 4th in three-point defense (31.3%) and 5th in FG defense (42%).

Agee mostly on these. Think Tejada sneaks into 3rd due to the name.

In typical CAA fashion, it was erroneously post last night...🤣

Maybe the 1-2 punch 👊 will rally this team down in DC!?  They know they owe us and all.  Need 40+ from them to win the first one. 
No one thought back in November they’d both be designated to 3rd team this time around.

Just snuck on there, with their lifetime body of work, not this year.

They are in the top 15 in scoring and if you look at the field goal percentages, the rest aren't that great either. 

Dylan was also 4th in assist/turnover ratio and 10th in assists with 3.3 per game.

Cruz Davis, as great a player as he is, shot just 40.7% from the field this season in conference play, but did shoot 39.7% from 3-point range overall and had 4.6 assists per game. He's the best player no matter what the stats say.

And with Williamson, there's a reason why he gets double-teamed a lot. The numbers were not there this season, but Towson had so few weapons. Womack was so freakin' wide open in that Stony Brook game. Nobody paid attention because they were guarding two guys. Imagine if he could have given them 10+ and 6 and that would have allowed those two guys to get less attention. But so it goes...

Disagree, will need 40+ from 4 and 21.  4 has shown he can play in DC, 15 has struggled mightily.

4 and 15 are playing for bigger contracts. If they put too much pressure on themselves to score 20 points apiece so they can get bigger deals with another program, we're going down early. If they play team ball and don't worry about that shit, we'll do fine for a game. Maybe two.
