Who are the league's best freshmen?

All Wright will definitely be Freshman of the year. Bully will make the all freshman team and would have a chance to be Foy if he was a starter. I would not trade him for any of these freshman listed because he offers so much more then just scoring.

Agreed. Jaquan is the man!

Yes, I like Wright, and he has had an impressive freshman year. But he does get his 14.2 points partly because of the volume of shots he takes. He averages 12.2 FG attempts per game, more than any other MVC player except Stirtz (18.8 ppg), Dibba (17.0 ppg), Samage Teel (17.0 ppg), and Tayshawn Comer (16.2 ppg), all of whom average significantly more points per game than Wright.
By comparison, Gabriel Pozatto, Wright's main competition for FOY, averages 15.3 ppg (3.1 ppg more than Wright), on fewer shot attempts per game.

Both are deserving candidates, but how is 15.3 ppg, 3.1 points more than 14.2 ppg?
And Pozzato also takes a near-equally large volume of shots (12.14 FG attempts/game in league play), hitting 42.9% overall, 31.6% from 3pt
Wright came on stronger in the later half of the conference season, something I think the voters may note.

Since returning from injury Jan 18, Pozzato has averaged 15.3ppg, but since Jan 18 Wright has averaged 20.0 ppg.

the top freshmen from the original list above- current stats


All Wright 14.2 ppg
Gabe Pozatto 15.5 ppg
Jaquan Johnson 6.4 ppg
Jack Daughtery 6.9 ppg
Sam Orme 9.6 ppg.....
...I would rank the MVC freshmen just as I have listed them above. All Wright would be the Freshman of the Year......

well, so far two of the All Freshman Team are in the Portal. Hopefully we can keep the other three in the MVC- Johnson, Daughtery & Orme.
Last year two of the All Freshman Team left as well looking for greener pastures (Chuck Bailey & Kevin Overton)
How did they fare?? You decide -
Bailey- went to Nevada, shot poorly, barely played, avg 2ppg, season over- no post-season.
Overton- went to Texas Tech, going from full time starter to full time reserve, playing time & production dropped by 30%, shooting pct dropped, avg 8ppg,
but Texas Tech did make the NCAA and won yesterday vs UNCW. He will face his old team Drake on Saturday.
