In response to Columbia Alum
Last year, I seemed to make some enemies arguing that Evan Boudreaux shouldn’t be in the POY conversation, and was far from a lock for first team. However, there were individual statistical arguments against him — low ORAT, box score +/- said team played better with him off the floor, etc. For Morgan, none of that is true. High counting stats, high ORAT, box score +/- shows team is much better when he is on the floor, etc. He’s just a beast on offense. And no turnovers despite the high usage rate and having to carry the team. Amazing.
So for Morgan, i’m really reduced to the simple argument that the team went 6-8. I think that is a non-starter for POY (hasn’t happened since early 80s that a sub .500 team in conference produced the POY. So I don’t think it will happen now, and I don’t think it should. But if ever there was a time for it, Morgan would be the guy.
