Predictions for SBU America East Awards
DIR By: OldSeawolf
Date: February 28, 2019, 9:17 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I know we have 2 games left to go in the season, but thought we
could post our thoughts on who will be represented by SBU at the
annual AE awards dinner at this juncture. Here are my
predictions:
Coach of the Year
Coach Boals will get it IMO, ONLY IF we sweep the last 2 games,
and get # 1 seed; otherwise, probably Becker or Odom.
Regardless, he should get some votes here.
All-Rookie Team
Miles Latimer
All Defensive Team
Elijah Olaniyi
1ST Team America East
Akwasi Yeboah
2ND team America East
Elijah Olaniyi
3RD team America East
Andrew Garcia - Only thing that could prevent this is the fact
that he's not a starter, and has fewer minutes than a lot of
other candidates. But IMO, he deserves it.

Since you brought it up, I like most of your other picks.
Definitely Lamb and Ernie Duncan on 1st team, along with Lutete.
I'd put Healy on All-Rookie and 2nd team, and I might even put
Lynch on 1st team.
2nd team, definitely Sherburne. Sessoms (All-Rookie) but I
think he shoots too much to be deserving of 1st - maybe 3rd team
IMO.
3rd team Carroll yes, Stewart yes, Clark yes, Smith I'd leave
off (I liked him early on, but doesn't impress me lately). I'd
add KJ Jackson and Dunne. Cornish may get some votes; for me,
too many inconsistent games during the year, but that's just me.
i'd be happy if he got it though.

good point on smith- AE play is what matters here- so early on
doesnt have the same impact (if at all).
bingo might get sessoms on the 3rd for no other reason than poor
record.
blagojevic could go first in place of healy, he's everywhere.
im sure im missing some names...

Yes, Blagojevic, he's deserving. How about Andrew Fleming - he
had a decent year, and we need to show him a little love after
the incident the other night? Also, maybe Lamar on UMBC?

Solid picks. Just think you're showing too much love for
Sessoms and Healy (the Freshmen!).
No takers for Garcia yet, I see. If there was a 6th man award,
he'd be a shoe-in.

I feel pretty good about the first team. The second and third
teams are interchangeable. Fair point on the freshmen. Last
year, no freshman appeared on any of the all-conference teams.
Granted, nobody was top five in scoring like Sessoms and Healy
are. Lamb made the second team the year before, and Leissner and
Thomas were all-conference in 2014-15. So there's some precedent
for it, and it would be wrong to snub them all together based on
what class they're in.

No, you are right, class should not determine awards, even
though the voting probably gives advantage to upper classmen, in
close cases.
Sessoms has not impressed me at all - I've watched him maybe 5-6
games this year. I think he over-shoots and is a bit of a ball
hog. However, I went on the AE site, and to my amazement, he's
shooting 46% from the field and 38% from 3-land; both solid #'s.
So maybe I didn't catch him at his best. Also, he's 4th in the
league in Assists (but 10th in Assist/Turnover Ratio). Given
those overall #'s, he's deserving of at least 3rd team.
Healy, although averaging 16.6 PPG, is only shooting 42% from
the field but 41% from 3. He shoots 89% from the line, so he
definitely adds some PPG that way. He torched us last game, but
haven't seen enough of him this year to convince me that he's
Top 15 in the league.
It's hard to make judgements overall, when I've only seen some
players twice all year. Good discussion though.
