Did Simonds guard the other teams best player every single game and pretty much shut them down? I understand offensive player of the year but overall Frank deserved it

LOL. I love how you guys are getting all ____y. I was just stating that his numbers were not as good as Simonds' numbers. It probably didn't help that he absolutely killed us in the only time we played them this year, when Bartley was guarding him. Relax, I'm on your side. Just stating the reasons he wasn't voted for POY.

Unfortunately that doesn't win you POY in the eyes of the voters.

You’re right but it should

Most of these guys don't see but 1 game a weekend. They literally go through stat lines to come up with just about all of this. Simonds' stats were better, even his defensive stats were better but he was also more heavily used IMO. That team leaned on him a hell of a lot. We had so much more balance this year that its truly amazing that Bartley was able to produce what he did so consistently when we often had 4-6 guys in double digits.

I love it. Gant is going to be a BEAST in the tourney for getting snubbed.

Simmonds is a nice player.. but Frank Bartley is the POY.

i would have voted for Barkley, but looking at the statistics only it's Simmonds. He played an average of 5 minutes more per games, but he lead in virtually all the comparable stats.

No coach is going to load a bunch of players from one team onto an Allstar, all-conference, or all anything list. Spreading the wealth will always be an issue.

If that weren't the case our softball starting lineup would have been the complete All Conference 1st team for the past decade.

Just leaves them hungry for more.

....Blocked shots = Defensive player of the year.....just putting into play the value that he brought in that respect......the psychological effect alone can not be diminished!!!

Not saying you’re wrong about the stats, it’s just a shame that “basketball people” can’t recognize that Bartley was the total package. Locked down team’s best offensive options, game in, game out.

I’ll put it this way.. id take Bartley over Simmonds to lead my team into the NCAAs.

Simonds acts like a little baby when he doesn’t get his way. Hangs his head like a sore loser and doesn’t support his team. I’d take Bartley over him any day. I don’t care how good of a scorer he is
