In response to PennFan10
I think some are forgetting that in the first half of the season, Darnell slowed down the ball movement, was a poor 3 pt. shooter, a poor FT shooter, and didn't have great efficiency. He was the best we had, but that had as much to do with our roster as anything else. Some people had noted that our team struggled in games where he took 10 shots or more. His assist rate was quite low, and A/TO was nothing special. His FT shooting was poor. The best thing you could have said about him was his rebounding. This was often against really weak competition in our non-league schedule.
It wasn't until the Ivy season that he started to solidify, and it wasn't until the second half of the Ivy season that he really imposed himself into game outcomes.
I think he was a hero for his performance, but let's not be revisionist about 1st or 2nd team All-Ivy level play. He might have deserved it if you only watched his last 6-10 games.
Darnell should have been 1st or 2nd team All Conference. He was excellent and will be hard to replace.
