So who wins the Conference awards and makes the all-conference teams? There's about a quarter of the conference schedule, or 15 percent or so of the season schedule, yet to play, but what's the fun of waiting. Here would be my picks if you had to pick 'em today:

Player of the Year: Kiefer Sykes, Green Bay
Defensive Player of the Year: Jordan Fouse, Green Bay
6th Man of the Year: Jon Harris, Cleveland State
Newcomer of the Year: Kahlil Felder, Oakland
Coach of the Year: Gary Waters, Cleveland State

First Team All-Conference:
Kiefer Sykes, Green Bay
Kendrick Perry, Youngstown State
Alec Brown, Green Bay
Juwan Howard, Detroit
LaVonte Dority, Valparaiso

Second Team All-Conference:
Travis Bader, Oakland
Corey Petros, Oakland
Kahlil Felder, Oakland
Evan Bruinsma, Detroit
Trey Lewis, Cleveland State

Third Team All Conference:
Matt Tiby, Milwaukee
Jordan Aaron, Milwaukee
Bobby Hain, Youngstown State
Kelsey Barlow, UIC
Jordan Fouse, Green Bay

All Defensive Team:
Jordan Fouse, Green Bay
Alec Brown, Green Bay
Kendrick Perry, Youngstown State

I figure that the voters will react as you do Chuck, that everyone just sort of figures Bader is a first teamer. But if you look at the breakdown above, I think Howard has quite clearly been the better player in conference games, and also - though less clearly - the better all-around player overall. I do give extra weight to conference games. Also, bear in mind that Howard is a better defensive player - he typically draws the other team's top scorer unless that player is a center or point guard. It's fair to note that opposing teams are always watching out for, double teaming, trying to keep the ball away from Bader (although OU actually has more offensive threats than UD), but the same is true of Howard.

I'll bet if you did the same sort of comparison between Dority and Bader you'd find about the same thing.

Don't think I'd change anything else yet, except maybe Coach of the Year to Wardle over Waters.
