MVC Awards

DJ left off the "Most Improved" team. He went from averaging 8.7 ppg (40% from 3) to 15.3 ppg (43% from 3). He's top 4 in the conference in scoring and No.1 in 3pt %.

Seems to me he's made some pretty decent improvement from his freshman year to this year.

I couldn't agree more. I assumed he was a lock for this recognition. I know there is differing opinions on this but i don't thing individual awards should be affected by your teams performance. All bench and most improved are kind of consolation prizes anyway.

So have to post this. DJ has played in two arch madness games. Stats are

2020: 3-10 shooting, 2-7 From 3, 8 points. 4 turnovers
2021: 2-8, 1-4 from 3, 10 points 4 ast, 2 to

Not the type of numbers you expect from a big time player. I have to ask does he have any clutch moments in his plying career? High school? Does not seem like a clutch player. He missed a layup at the buzzer at drake. Starting to think he’s a guy who has big games here or there, but when the moneys down, he’s not up to the challenge.

Any one else thinks DJ is one dimensional?

He is NOT a team player. The Birds did better when he was out a couple games with an injury.

DJ lead us in rebounding with 7. All defensive too. 4 assists and 3 steals.

Someone other than Dusan and Horne had to step up and they did not!

Shh he's one dimensional! Don't tell them how he impacted the games in other ways when he wasn't scoring!

Can anyone answer my clutch questions above? I can’t recall him coming through in big games and more specifically when the game was on the line. I believe in the regular season finale, he had 34 points but missed a free throw to make the lead3. Against drake missed the layup at the buzzer. Maybe in high school he hit some buzzer beaters ?? Anyone???

so how can dj improve his game to make the first team next march? would love to see a redbird back on these mvc lists.
