Jarron and Tre are 1st team all league
Achuiwa was the only unanimous selection so maybe he's the front runner.

Was just about to post this, so happy for Tre, he put in a hell of a season
I know I'm in the minority here, but I didn't think Trevon's defense was anything special. I thought he has struggled all season to keep guys in front of him. His rebounding was good, but IMO his defense was probably above average at best.

It’s really hard to stay in front of guys who are smaller and quicker than you. Almost impossible. Unless you are some kind of freak athlete. I don’t think some people on here realize that.I just looked up his synergy numbers. And I think you think this way because it’s really noticeable when he gets beat.
But in synergy his defensive rating is “Excellent” at .631 ppp which is better then 93% of D1 defenders.
My guess, that ranks as the highest or at minimum top 5

It's going to be more noticeable when someone gets beat when playing straight man to man. Most teams don't play man to man all game but for some reason we did
Similar to how people said we gave up layups for free all season.
But we are 7th in the country in 2 point % defense. So we weren't giving up that many free layups.
That's why I said I think and not "based on synergy numbers he is a top 7% defender in the country"...I could just post synergy numbers for how a person played in a game, but I prefer to use my judgment based on three decades of playing and watching. Doesn't mean I'm always right.
well obviously him having trouble staying in front of his man is going to be more noticeable when guarding a guy 1 on 1 then when he is on the low side of a 2-3 zone. But I'm sorry, a lot of teams play man to man all game, or almost all game. Plenty of m2m teams out there and when they get out of it for zone it can be for a couple possessions only.
Again, I'm fine with others disagreeing, I just don't think his defense was anything special. I'd be curious what others feel he has done incredibly well on D to earn DPOY....btw, thought his 2nd half of the season was incredible overall even so much to possibly earn POY. Just not as much on the defensive side.
Problem is we don't draw as many charges as Jarron commits. Sometimes you just have to stand your ground knowing you're going to get splattered all over the floor (especially our smaller guards). They have a tendency to clear out of the paint to preclude getting posterized. It's like going to the hardwood for a 50/50. It may not feel good, but the only way you have a chance is being on the floor. Anybody have any stats on how many charges we've drawn this season? Would be an interesting comparison vs the other teams. Also, how many charges Jarron has been called for (committed)?It's going to be more noticeable when someone gets beat when playing straight man to man.
