The system CBSSportsline uses is a formula that is a statistical compilation of many of the players' stats. It is the same formula most NBA scouts use to evaluate players. It is therefore much less subjective than a lot of other evaluations. I am not saying it is any better, but the fact that most NBA teams use this formula give it some legitimacy.

I think the MVC first and second team will all come from the top 15 players in that last....ok, top 16 because I think Tatum will make first or second team and he's number 16.

I agree, although I don't quite see how a player of Tatum's impact is only #16 on this list.

And one other thing...that's been said time and again....if anyone actually just looks at facts, then you cannot help but agree will Franklin is one of the best 2 players in the league.
He deserves 1st Team All Conf.

Stout and Coleman are fine players, but their contributions down the stretch run have dwindled and have helped contribute to their 4-game losing streak and their stretch of losing 7 of their last 8.
