Side Note Marquis Nowell K/State - -2nd team woth - -6 votes

Jalen won the Julian Erving Award for Top Small Forward.
Think he’ll be getting his jersey in the rafters. NCAA Champion, Conference POY, First Team All American, Erving Award Winner.
He deserves it all

Yes! This team would’ve been terrible without Jalen!!! He really made everything work. Wish he would’ve had his coach in the tournament to give him a better send off.

Thanks I missed it. Good that he’ll get what is deserving

How will we remember J Will?
Will it be like Mason, T-Rob, Morri, Collison, Hinrich, Gooden, Pierce, LaFrenz, Vaughn, JoJo White, Valentine… or someone else?

@bskeet I think we remember someone who won a title differently from the jerseys who didn’t…We appreciate all the other guys as excellent players, but the names with a title evoke memories of teammates, celebrations, trophies…

@bskeet More like Sherron Collins, I suppose. Great support player on a championship team. Not good enough to carry the team the next year with limited help.
Edit - Wilson is a stud, just not Superman. I mean no disrespect.
