[Hoot Gibson]

Conference player of the year???What does wall shoot %..oh wait its 41% and wall has about 6 ot 7 turnovers a game..last nite he had more To's than assists..and he is on good team wiht alot of help...I dont see how you get downey isn that good

I never said Downey is not a good player but he is obviously not POY material. He does not have the individual stats to make a case for him, he does not play on a top tier team, and he will not get the TV exposure necessary to be a contender even if he had a halfway decent shooting percentage, which he does not. Downey is at best the fourth best player in the SEC, which does not mean that he is not a good player - just that he is not POY material.

BTW, Wall is shooting 47.5 percent from the field and he also has a better 3-point shooting percentage than Downey.
