Legit complaint.  Defense excluded, DJ is a superior player to Aaron Craft.  I like Craft, but the numbers don't lie on this example.  And that's just one player to compare him to.

They definitely have a big-6 bias.  The first year, the award went to Jameer Nelson of St. Joe.  Since then, though, it's been Ray Felton, Ty Lawson and Kendall Marshall, all from UNC, Dee Brown from Illinois, Acie Law of TxAM, DJ Augustin of Texas (maybe they've hit their DJ quota), Greivis Vasquez of Maryland and Kemba Walker from UConn.

I have no complaints with the guys that have won the award. All were special college players. I never expected DJ to win the award, but he should certainly be a finalist.
