ESPN POY Straw Poll: Burke #1

All the usual mid-season yes-this-doesn't-matter apply, still conversation worthy perhaps.  Burke currently has a narrow lead on McDermott, who are both way ahead of the next three of Plumlee, Oladipo, and Zeller.

 

Full poll and story here:  http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/75081/oladipo-enters-poy-straw-poll-at-no-4

 

Beat Wisconsin.

It seems like Burke should continue to trend up for the forseeable future. He doesn't have to face Craft and his rosy cheeks anymore and Plumlee seems to be trending down. I think Oladipo is the one to watch out for.

McDermott won't be in the race for long if he continues to put up performances like last night. 8 points in a 19 point loss for a player at a mid-major is the kind of thing that can lead people to write him off their ballot. I'll bet we start to see more buzz for Oladipo, who will be in the public eye a lot in the next month.

I think all the focus on the BIG with the great games left in the season will give Burke the edge over McDermott (especially if he has a couple more off games) and Plumlee. Zeller and Oladipo will split some of the votes being on the same team and Burke should have the inside track.

It is clearly a big deal to win POY, but is this THAT big?  As in, it defines your football program with each Heisman winner, but does POY do the same for basketball?

I don't recall seeing any other team brag about past POY winners.

I didn't intend the question to be facetious.

I think being deemed the best college basketball player of the year is a pretty big honor for the player and the school...but probably only hyped less than the heisman because ncaafb garners more attention than ncaab.

the most recent past winners...

anthony davis, jimmer, evan turner, blake griffin, hansbrough, durant, reddick, andrew bogut.

Some pretty nice company, especially as far as college performance is concerned.

You could even argue it's a bigger deal to win it in NCAAB...many of the recent winners have gone on to great/good careers (or still need more time i.e. Davis (and yes, even Jimmer is getting there in the pros)). Then you look at some recent heisman winners...Bradford, Troy Smith, Tebow, Leinart...I'd be very curious to look at the success rates for NCAAB POY and heisman winners and see how it actual does trend

After Burke's performance against Ohio in a very high-profile game, the rest of the country saw what we have seen all year: Burke may very well be the best player in college basketball.  If he continues to perform like this, he will win.  Hopefully, he has a six chances to impress voters in the NCAA Tournament.

Trey was lights out good during the non-conference, but I don't think he's been at POY level during Big Ten play.  His FG% has significantly dropped, only 43% in B1G, and hasn't always been the offensive facilitator he needs to be.
