I know that the team doesnt have to make sense in the fact that all the players could actually work together but... with Brackins, Griffen and Aldrich i'm kind of wondering who they will pick to be the 3 man
 
IMO- even though Craig might be a better pro than Aldrich....Aldrich should be on the first team and Craig on the second team. To me, the first team should be the best players on the best teams.
 
i dont watch a ton of basketball but i didnt see anyone who is a first-team 3-player so i though that they would take all three of best bigs (CB, CA, BG) and say that one of them plays the three

Since they don't literally field a team, they'll likely pick a squad that wouldn't really play in a real-life lineup. I wouldn't be surprised to see four bigs (CB, CA, BG, and DeMarre Carroll from Mizzou) on the 1st team.

If they wanted to pick one at each position, James Anderson would be my 1st-teamer at the 3 spot; Willie Warren or AJ Abrams would be my pick at the 2 spot.

what? I know it is your opinion but I disagree. The most talented and productive players in the conference should have a shot at the first team. So do you think Troy Davis should be second team all Big 12 tailback because he was on a team with Div. 1AA talent that didn't win very many games?
 
Cole Aldrich is a poor mans Eric Montross, at least in terms of NBA potential. He'll have to be one hell of a rebounder or defender to sniff the floor.
 
Congrats to Craig...in the last year he's went from being a highly skilled, but inconsistant freshman, to being a first team all conference player...

Hopefully next year we're talking about how he went from being all conference, to all-american, and was in large part responsible for turning this program around!

You are following my thinking.....to me, those awards should go to the good players that affect winning positively, ie have there teams at the top of there conferences. I'm not saying take the starting five off KU this year, cause they won the conference, but there should be a heavy slant in voting, IMO, towards players who greatly affect winning.

Its true we might have zero wins in the B12 w/o Craig, but we were so irrelevant this year that if I was voting I'd vote for someone else from one of those top teams. I understand that opinion doesn't sound fair to players from bad teams....but I think the best players that promote team winning should be rewarded.

I see your point, but I don't think someone should be penalized for being on a bad team, unless they are just boosting their stats as a result of being on said bad team.

Huge props to Craig Brackins for making first team. It is a great accomplishment.
