Horizon League Honors will be out before too long, so we'd better argue about them now! There's a relatively lively little discussion going on at horizonleaguefans.freeforums.net/thread/746/hl-poy-point, and it's good to see some action at that board.
All Conference selections aren't entirely about raw stats, but raw stats are a big part of selection, and should be (in part because, if you know what to look for and how to use them, stats pretty much do tell what is happening on the court - they are the objective record of the more subjective "eye test.") So here are some numbers for top candidates for all-conference. I've included every player who is in the top 15 in the league in one of the "big 3" categories of points, rebounds, or assists per game. Their position among the top 15 league leaders is in parens in each stat category, with league leader in bold.
Although it changes regularly, at this point my picks for All Conference would be:
First Team
- Felder, Oak.
- Sykes, GB
- Peters, Valpo
- Lewis, CSU
- Howard, Det.
Second Team:
- Petros, Oak.
- Grady, CSU
- McWhorter, Mil.
- Lee, CSU
- Fouse, GB
POY: Felder
