Author Topic: Willie Cauley-Stein is a finalist for the Oscar Robertson Trophy eleem Player Member # 884 posted 02-26-2015 02:48 PM                     The 14 finalists for the Oscar Robertson Trophy were announced today and your boy Willie Cauley-Stein made the list, along with your other boy Kyle Wiltjer. Voted on by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, the Oscar Robertson award is given to the nation’s best player at the College Basketball Awards on April 14 in Oklahoma City. Here’s a look at the finalists: Ron Baker, Wichita State Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia Willie Cauley-Stein, Kentucky Rakeem Christmas, Syracuse Jerian Grant, Notre Dame Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin Georges Niang, Iowa State Jahlil Okafor, Duke Kevin Pangos, Gonzaga Bobby Portis, Arkansas D’Angelo Russell, Ohio State Seth Tuttle, Northern Iowa Kyle Wiltjer, Gonzaga Delon Wright, Utah Link Posts: 13248 | From: flatwoods,ky. | Registered: Oct 2000  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 02-26-2015 03:19 PM                     Some good players in that group but would bet Okafor, Kaminsky or even Wiltjer have the best shot to win the award. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged Old Norm Administrator Member # 1482 posted 02-26-2015 04:51 PM                     KAT should be on that list.

I would put KAT, Trey, Devin, and Aaron, ahead of him. Just my personal opinion. -------------------- Bleeding Blue in south Alabama. Kentucky born, Kentucky bred,I'll be kentucky until i'm dead!

I think when these NBA lottery picks are made the teams don't always pick the player that they think is the best but what they need on their team the most. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged Tiptree Administrator Member # 844 posted 02-26-2015 06:39 PM                     Gonzaga has two finalists -- Pango and Wiltjer.

I guess it's in the eyes of the beholder. I think however we can all agree the players on this team are very good players and some of them will make it to the NBA.
