But he can't win a unanimous vote for MOTM on DBR. We are worse than the Baseball Writers Association. At least they finally got it right this year.
I could be part of the problem. I sometimes vote for the less obvious choice. I am a "path less traveled" kind of person. But, Zion got my votes this week.
The ultimate team player! It is a well-deserved award. Also, he's a great kid.
Could be that us DBR folk care more about this team and the players than the BWA does the players in the HOF consideration... Much easier to focus on a few game-altering plays by Jack or Ques and convince ourselves (sometimes after a few cold ones) that they were the unsung hero that played above our expectations. What Tre did on Saturday to the man who straight up embarrassed us last year was nothing short of spectacular and was just as important as what Zanos continues to do to half of the population on the court at any given time.
The real head-scratcher is that Nickeil Alexander-Walker (coming off an 11-point, 3-assist, 5-turnover game on Saturday) was named ACC Player of the Week over Zion.

The ACC should rename “ACC Player of the Week” to:
“ACC Player of the Week, not named Zion or RJ”.
