I think it's down to 4 players: Lewis, Towns, Brodeur and Betley.
Betley has the highest WS of anyone in the league but hasn't been as good as Lewis or Brodeur in conference play.
Towns is coming on - averaging almost 20 points per game in conference play with a solid all-around game.
My feeling is that it's going to be between Lewis and Brodeur. Lewis has an edge rate-wise (.189 WS/40 vs .154 per sports-reference), Brodeur makes it up if you consider Brodeur averages more minutes per game (3.2 WS vs 3.0).
Others just out of the running:
Cannady - Was it less than 3 weeks ago when he was the favorite? Cannady and Princeton have been in a tailspin spin and I don't see a recovery in the works for either.
Morgan - The best talent on offense in the league but hasn't separated himself from the frontrunners. Isn't a top defensive player. On a weak team unlikely to make the Ivy playoffs. Don't see it happening.
Atkinson, Cambridge - Wouldn't be surprised if one of these 2 wins POY in the future. A step behind the frontrunners right now.
