Tough one. I'll go Isaiah because he hit the biggest shot of the game and is showing some real development on the offensive game outside of outside shooting.

Cam was productive but hurt us a bit on both ends I thought.

Shoutout to Cayden, Pat, and Maliq. Thought they all played really well. Foster had some nice defensive possessions too and calmed us down in big moments.
 
Cameron Boozer. He was one basket away from a 20-10-5 night, with 18-10-5.

The outlet pass helps me to forgive him the two points.

I came very close to voting for Slim.
 
I have to go with Cam for the pass to Evans alone, though Slim is more than deserving himself, that 3 at the end of the shot clock was a killer, and I love how his game is so much more complete this year. Oh and honorable mention to Maliq, his defense is incredible, and he manages to be everywhere on the court, great nose for the ball. We've been joking in my house about teams gambling by putting the ball on the floor anywhere near Maliq.
 
I went with Isiah, but Cam was a close second. Pat played very well against one of the best big men in the country.

GoDuke!
 
Went with Cayden simply because he seems to be getting more comfortable in the offense. I like the potential of a Cayden-Foster-Evans-Pat-Cameron lineup with Sarr coming off the bench. Also like Brown and Pat on the floor together cause I’m a fan of that extra interior pass and those guys seem to instinctively find each other.
 
We needed his big body to counter both Bidunga and Tiller, and while Maliq made things tough for them in his own way, it was Pat who drew crucial fouls and kept those two big bodies from dominating. Bidunga scored 14 points on 10 shots, which is pretty darn efficient. And then you realize that Pat scored 13 points on just 4 shots, and you know who was the more valuable player. Pat was able to give us 27 big minutes, and he was a big reason we won a big game against a big team.
 
It's great to have so many choices after a game. Pat, Slim, Cameron, and Cayden all had great games, and I could see a reason for picking any of them. I went with Cayden because the defense performed best when he was on the court, and the offense performed second-best (best for the players who played rotation minutes).
 
Cayden came off the bench at 14:40 of the 2nd half, hit a three on his first possession to push the lead to 10, then had buckets on consecutive possessions at around the 12:00 mark of the 2nd half when nobody was hitting their shots and our lead had been reduced to 5. Without those buckets, I felt the game could have slipped away. For stabilizing the offense at a tenuous moment, he's my MOTM.
