    Cannot argue with Self winning.

    Valentine winning is meh. Won by 3 votes.

    Not sure how you can miss 2+ weeks of the season and win this award. Great player though

    Valentine loses in embarrassing fashion in round 1 to a 15 seed and Hield carries his team to the Final Four.

    WTF

    These are the same voters who had MSU ranked in the top 5, in January when they were 5th in the Big 10 so I guess it can't be too much of a shocker.

    19points 7 assists 7 rebounds for Valentine average.
    25 points 5 rebounds 2 assists for heild average.

    I think the argument is Valentine is more of a complete player than a just a scorer.

    also the votes were cast before the tournament......

    Yes. All of this is true. Valentine can also play and defend 3 or 4 positions...

    I think Buddy will win the Wooden Award... IMO, Buddy & Denzel are 1A & 1B. Both outstanding players with excellent regular seasons... Obviously Buddy with the much better tournament success this season and could even win it all.

    If you wanna get technical;

    19.2 pts / 7.5 reb / 7.8 ast

    His FG% & 3P% are very close to Buddy's at 46% & 44%, respectively. So, they're both very efficient shooters is the point.

    Valentine was hands down the best player, the only thing that made it close was he missed games.

    Statwise yes, feels like Hield carried his team more, I could be wrong though.

    So then based on your argument here, you'd probably make the case LeBron James deserves MVP over Steph Curry this year.
