  • Wooden Watch List

    So I was looking around espn.com and came across the pre-season Wooden watch list. For those of you who don't know that the one of the player of year awards. Looking at the list I saw the usual names from the big school, and had no problem with them. Then I came upon Dougie Fresh, yep Doug McDermott is on the pre-season Wooden watch list. He is a good player don't get me wrong, but national player of the year good, give me a break!

    Also they have a left of the list section and saw some MVC players on there. Of course the returning player of the year Weems and also Toure' Murry, niether of whom I have a problem with being on the list. But wait it's not over, also on the list is Greg Echenique. Are you kidding me! I think if it were up to espn they would just hand Creighton the MVC title right now and not even play the season. Just my thoughts, let me know what you think Panther Nation!

    Everyone is pretty high on Greg and Doug from their summer performances with their national teams, which is fine because they both did do well. Everyone on MVCFans thinks Echenique is the greatest thing since sliced bread (and Doug McDermott) and he is a good player, I wish the Panthers had that type of size+ability at the moment, but I highly doubt he's one of the best that D-I basketball has to offer

      I heard Doug is going pro after this season when Dad takes to the Bobcats job and buys out other teams draft spots so he can draft Doug first round. Dougie is that good!

        Last year Echenique reminded me of playing middle school football. You know how there was always that one kid that hit puberty earlier than everyone else? Even though the kid had zero talent they would put him at RB and he would just rumble over everyone in his way. Echenique seems to have some athletic ability but it seemed more to be his incredible strength that got him on the floor. He seemed out of control and just threw himself around. When he played against smart players he would get in foul trouble and pile up the TO's.

        Maybe he has improved over the summer?
