Bone belongs on that list over Waters.

Morant had this wrapped up once ESPN started hyping him.

Waters???


GTFO

 

[feathersax]

SO this ranks with the "Hypes-man" trophy. Garbage.

 

[UTRocky]

Not sure Waters is even best guard on his team, yet alone top 5 in nation. Bone should of been on the list for sure.

 

[vanillagorilla]

If bone played for one of the blue bloods he would be a household name.

Perkins gets ZERO points against TN! Makes perfect sense. Keep disrespecting the Vols and we’ll get our rewards on the court.

Give us an unbiased opinion. Would you put Jordan Bone on this list over Waters?

 

[BruinVol]

Waters and his foolish decisions lost both SEC games for LSU

 

[IPleadInsanity]

He can win this next year. Don't want to lose him. Been a long long time since we had a real point guard at Tennessee.

 

[vols 30]

If you look at it from an unbiased point of view, then Markus Howard wins this easily

 

[VolforFootball]

Snubbed

 

[VolsO&W]

I love Bone, and think he should be on this list, but him and Waters have comparable stats. And before any of you sheep jump on me, I said "comparable"...

 

[LittleCat]

They are pretty comparable across the board. I'd probably lean Bone, but it's hard for him to get attention because most would agree Grant/Admiral get more attention from defenses.

I'd pick Bone. But Waters is more important to his teams success so I guess I understand the focus on Waters. Waters worst 5 offensive games (according to KenPom) were all losses for LSU. His 6th worst? OT win against Arkansas. UT can get away with Bone having average nights.

Grant isn't happy about it:

 

[Dudleys87]

Motivation.

 

[tn4elvis]

Motivation.

That's sucks.He is as good or better than anyone on that list.Its q absolute shame

 

[CAVPUT]

Good. Piss Bone off. Keep telling him how much better the other guys are.

No. Bone is so much more efficient, and it's not even close.

Bone is averaging over a 3:1 a:to ratio, .572 TS%, with 13.6 ppg, 6.1 apg, and 0.7 steals

Waters isn't even close to averaging a 2:1 a:to ratio, .548 TS%, with 15.3 ppg, 5.8 apg, and 3.0 steals.

Admiral and Grant are the reason Bone isn't putting up 18 ppg. He can get an open look almost anytime he wants it, but that's not his role. This award isn't about whose team needs them the most.

I feel like a Wildcat should appreciate Bone a little more, considering he lit y'all up this year. Waters? 3 for 13 (and LSU won).

 

[Dudleys87]

If this keeps him playing like he did against Kentucky I’ll take a net over an award anyway. This team I’m sure will say the same

1F:AF remember?

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

He got boned!

Jordan Bone is bad to the bone
