Well done Evan! Looking like a top POY contender to me!

Congrats - If anyone from the league is reading this, please review how stats are tallied in your press releases. Betley's 13-23 is not 45.8% shooting. Also, touting fact that Chambers shot 20% on 3's vs Columbia is a bit odd

Boudreaux Player Of The Week 02-20-17 03:02 PM - Post#222679
In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
I'd love to see Evan win it this year. My only fear is that that would be an accomplishment he could cross off the list that would make it easier for him to leave.
It was great that we went to the CIT a few years back, first post season in like half a century or whatever, but in hindsight it was during that CIT game that Mitola scored his 1000th point.
Wondering if he'd have stayed for his final year had he not done achieved that momentous milestone. And I think his departure was the first domino that lead to our current standing.

Boudreaux told the Valley News this past Friday he has no plans to leave.

Also, even if he is considering it or open to consider it, I'm pretty sure he'd answer in the negative.
But again glad he answered in the negative!

My recollection (perhaps mistaken) is that Boudreaux--unlike Mitola--had several opportunities to play at a higher level of basketball than the Ivy coming out of high school.
He chose to come to Dartmouth. He's a legacy. He's said he's not leaving.
If you're still worried that he's going to transfer, I'm not sure what I can tell you...

An interesting selection although I'm not 100% Boudreaux even had the best weekend among his teammates.
And yes, Betley's composite stats were miscalculated which is embarrassing. For that matter, it's not clear why Boudreaux gets the nod as POW over either of the other two rookies who were co-ROWs. Tough to really distinguish any one player here; in addition, both teams went 2-0 thanks to their efforts.

Really? When you get to 100% sure, do let us know your informed, final opinion. Got the wife and kids with me staring at the computer screen waiting to read your analysis. This is more exciting than waiting for Hoopla to explain his thinking that he's hoping Boudreaux won't win POY cause it'll be the feather in his cap that he's always coveted and will therefore leave Dartmouth. Wow....

Actually, my bad as Dartmouth was the only team there that did not sweep this past weekend.
As to my point--a reasonable case can be made for Smith over Boudreaux.

Guillien Smith averaged 19/game.
Evan averaged 19.5/game.
Betley was terrific, averaging 20/game with a 7:1 assist turnover, but Evan was the rightful winner I think due to 9.5 rebounds/game.

It seems freshmen get relegated to ROW and not considered for POW

Right. There must've been at least a few weeks last year when Evan Boudreaux won ROW but could've won POW.

I read some somewhere that the League keeps stats in 13 categories and that only Spieth is listed in all of them. Will he be POY? Not likely. Neither will Bordeaux.

Like last year, we will have an interesting split where the super high statistical performers are on the lower division teams. My guess is that Cook or Weisz manages to end up POY, but if it isn't somebody on a playoff team, Spieth as a senior seems like a good bet. My guess is that he would get the nod over Boudreaux if we're choosing among non playoff teams. Of course if either team gets on a run and makes the top 4, that would help a lot.

Except that EB needed to take a lot more shots to get his points than the others.
Guillien Smith averaged 19/game.
Evan averaged 19.5/game.
Betley was terrific, averaging 20/game with a 7:1 assist turnover, but Evan was the rightful winner I think due to 9.5 rebounds/game.

Kind of been the story all year for Boudreaux and Dartmouth. His ORAT is actually about 98, which is below average efficiency. Not necessarily Boudreaux's fault in any way, but he is taking more shots yo get his points this year.
Interestingly, Dartmouth's only players above 100 ORAT are Barry, Fleming, Dickinson, and Smith. And only Smith has a high usage rate -- the others are unimaginably low. That could suggest that Dartmouth would be better served to spread the shots out a little more and have more of them come from their most efficient players, though it also could be that those ORATs would drop if Barry, Fleming, and Dickinson had to shoulder more of the load.

I'll say this much--EB does not crack the 3 stars of the game for Dartmouth in that Columbia game. The D guards played and shot out of their minds in that one, though.
