Jordan Murphy?? As one of the top 15 players in the B1G in the decade??
This list sucks

Iād rank that Draymond, Kaminsky, Turner, Burke, Valentine
Sam Dekker maybe?
DāAngelo Russel is on the 3rd teamā¦
He was really really good his one year. But him being on the same level as Jordan Murphy doesnāt make sense.
What about Stauskis?
If Aaron Craft made it (and DāAngelo Russell), I donāt see much room for Stauskas
Carsen Edwards maybe?
So based on that third team, left are:
Burke
Winston
Valentine
Kaminsky
Green
Sullinger
Oladipo
Zeller
Edwards
Iām pretty confident in those 9. I had Turner on my original one, Iām not sure how they will handle him as his last season was 09-10. I think they may omit him and say he doesnāt really fit into the decade. I think Iāll guess Happ got the last spot. Also possible: Moore, Hummel, Bates-Diop?
Given that Craft couldnāt shoot worth a lick, I wonder if weāll all end up thinking that X was worthier in that spot. He was a really funāvery dogged playerābut I think that he arguably had more. . . sentimental allure than chops. Still, I respect the judge list and respect Craft.
If Zeller is in the discussion, it gets harder to say Mo shouldnāt be. I may be personally biased as I found Zeller extraordinarily annoying for his astonishing ability to draw fouls on bullshit moves. He admittedly has a much more well-rounded game, as well. But Mo did more in the conference tourney and made an FF.
I say this more to suggest that Zeller does not belong than to suggest that Mo does.

The conference tourney should be incredibly low on the criteria of this exercise. Team performance in the NCAA tournament should only be a bit above that (Iād use it more as a tie breaker).
Zeller was 2nd Team All B1G his freshman year, and then a consensus AA and 1st Team All B1G his 2nd year. Thereās not really much of a debate as far as their accolades or stats go.
I agree I much prefer Moās game to Codyās though.
I donāt know the criteria or if the voters were given any, but given itās a conference ranking, thereās an argument for valuing the conference tourney higher and the big dance lower.
Only if you are separating conference stats from OOC stats.
I know Michigan fans became the worldās biggest CT supporters in recent years, but Zellerās team outright won probably the most competitive B1G in the decade. Thatās a bigger conference accomplishment than Mo winning two CTs
Itās a huge accomplishment; that was a monster year. Oladipo was that teamās best player.

Carsen Edwards and Ethan Happ on the 2nd team.
Harder to argue against Happ than Edwards.
