2019-2020 Men's Basketball Preseason Picks and Awards
https://caasports.com/news/2019/10/7/hof...-year.aspx is titled "Hofstra Tabbed to Capture 2019-20 CAA Men's Basketball Title; Charleston's Riller Picked Preseason Player of the Year." The preseason team ranks had 41 voters, whereas postseason awards normally have 40 voters. I don't know how the balloting worked. Adding up the points gave 2,050, which is 41*50. If each voter gave 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 it would be 55 points, and if each voter couldn't pick his or her own team and gave 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, it would be 45 points. It's impossible for half the voters to have given 55 points and half the voters to have given 45 points because half of 41 isn't a whole number. Charleston had the most first place votes with 18, but Hofstra had more points with 14 first place votes. The Preseason First Team of Grant Riller, Nathan Knight, Eli Pemberton, Brian Fobbs, and Matt Lewis are the top five returning players in last season's CAA team voting, in which Lewis ranked 12th and the other four were above him. Lewis was a bad shooter, and he is overrated IMO with people looking at his scoring and not criticizing his shooting. I felt the same way about Joe Chealey's senior season. The Second Team had Ryan Allen, Darius Banks, Desure Buie, Jordan Roland, and Camren Wynter, and all of them are arguably better than Lewis IMO. Knight was the only First or Second Team player who wasn't a guard, which is what happens when the top six rebounders last season had four graduate, Justin Pierce transfer, and Knight return. The five Honorable Mentions had James Butler along with guards Kevin Anderson, Marcus Sheffield II (graduate transfer to Elon), Bolden Brace, and Kai Toews. Of the four players who got Rookie of the Year votes, I mentioned Wynter and Toews, and Chase Audige and Ithiel Horton transferred.
