Andre Dawkins: “People ask me if I can still shoot, and I ask them if they can still breathe. That’s kind of the same thing.”
Although Seth and Mason played terrific games, I had to vote for Quinn. He played the point guard position as he did at the beginning of the year. And that was against really tough competition. 11 assists to 1 turnover, did not force any shots and played pretty good defense. When Quinn gets into the lane, he is very dangerous with his pinpoint passing. We will need more of this going forward. GoDuke!
Was going to go with Seth until the opposing coach compared Mason to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. ("He hit three sky hooks. I haven't even seen somebody attempt that shot in my 12 years at Albany, and he hit three of them.")
I gave it to Seth. Thought about Mason for his offensive performance, but I really thought his play on the defensive end was lacking. He was too afraid of foul trouble and refused to challenge shots or go hard for rebounds and loose balls. Seth always made the play we needed, especially that offensive rebound near the end that really put their last legit push to bed.
