Great Post T.
Excellent year for the A10, the youngest conference in America last year.

I don’t see how Trey Landers is not all League. Absolutely silly to have two guys from George mason and only two from Dayton. Given how well Dayton is playing, Mikesell could be there too.
At a minimum, I would take Greene, Wilson, and Mitchell off the team and put Landers, Dowtin, and probably Grady instead (potter and Francis could be there if healthy, Hughes and Mikesell also warrant consideration).

Freshman Jamison Battle getting all league votes.
Has any A10 player ever had a more disapointing career trajectory than Kellan Grady?
How is this Davidson team 11-11 with Kellan Grady, Gudmundson, pretty stunning.

That's Kellan Grady Freshman year to Sophmore year, and he's down further as a Junior.
Watching his incendiary Freshman year figured he'd be in the NBA by now not a Junior on an 11-11 Davidson Squad

I think injuries have taken a toll on his game, plus the rise or last year’s POY Jon Axel Gudmensen making him the secondary ball handler.

For sure, some combination I guess.
So dynamic as a Freshman, I do recall seeing him pretty high on NBA Draft Boards already.
That the two of them together are not able to carry the team to above 11-11 is pretty wild, they looked like a real NCAA tourney team contender on paper

I think you can turn that A10 POY, into National POY for Obi.
