OK, folks, my Wooden Award ballot has been turned in. Creightons Doug McDermott is my Player of the Year (and I suspect hell be many others as well). The rest of my first team is Shabazz Napier (UConn), Sean Kilpatrick (Cincinnati), Jabari Parker (Duke) and Russ Smith (Louisville). Napier has been a Kemba Walker-type leader, Kilpatrick was the only real offensive threat for the AAC co-regular season champs, Parker was consistently excellent in his freshman year and Smith was more efficient this year. My second team is Cleanthony Early (Wichita State), Julius Randle (Kentucky), Nik Stauskas (Michigan), Andrew Wiggins (Kansas) and Kyle Anderson (UCLA). Early was the top scorer for the 35-1 Shockers, Randle has 22 double-doubles for the Wildcats, Stauskas led the Big Ten regular season champs in scoring and Wiggins was often spectacular, yesterdays no-show against Stanford notwithstanding. For the last spot, it was a tough call between Anderson, Casey Prather (Florida) and Nick Johnson (Arizona). But I decided that I couldnt leave off a guy (Anderson) averaging nearly 15 points, more than eight rebounds and more than six assists off the team.
