(I will be crunching the numbers and giving complete player rankings for EVERY D1 conference, using conference only stats and win/loss results as each conference regular season ends. The “write ups” will follow pretty similar formats, since I don’t really have the time to spend much time with each write up. Will obviously tweet out results as usual as soon as each post is up. At the end of each conference write up, I will try to include links to all conference write ups that have already been posted – and maybe an ETA for the next conference.)

What we may garner from the above results….

Player of the Year: Quinton Chievous of Hampton gets the nod, #1 in Wins Above Replacement (4.7) and WAR/40 (5.6). Malcolm Bernard of Florida A&M did end up tops in the production metrics not tied directly to team wins: HnI (149) and Points Added to average conference lineup per 70 possessions (+6.8)

1st Team All Conference: With Quinton Chievous above, looks like Eric Eaves of South Carolina State, James Daniel of Howard and Troyce Manassa of Savannah State should be locks. I think I would go Mario Moody of Bethune-Cookman in the 5th spot, but I could see if one argued Reggie Johnson of Hampton (with impact and playing time it seems more directly linked to team wins) or even Malcolm Bernard of Florida A&M (bigger all around production despite lesser teammates & team wins) should be in that spot.

Players who topped the conference in something or another in terms of rating subsets (value is in “Points Added” to average conference lineup per 70 possessions):

Eric Eaves of South Carolina State: #1 in overall Offensive Rating (+11.5 PA) and overall Scoring Rating (+10.8 PA)

James Daniel of Howard: #1 in Free Throw Production Rating (+6.6 PA)

LaRon Smith, Bethune-Cookman: #1 in Defensive Stops Rating (steals, blocks, & fouls, +3.5 PA)

Dionte Adams, Hampton: #1 in Rebound Rating (+4.7 PA)

Kamil Williams, Savannah State: #1 in Three Point Production Rating (+11.9 PA)

Isaiah Omoregie, Florida A&M: #1 in Two Point Production Rating (+8.3 PA)

C.J. Wiggins, North Carolina Central: #1 in Handles/Passing Rating (Assists & Turnovers, +5.7 PA)

Demola Onifade, Delaware State: #1 in overall Defensive Rating (+3.9 PA)
