Our freshman got big minutes and both averaged 8 or 9 points because our lack of depth. BVP got abused on defense and Preston did as well, both will be lucky to make all MAC second team once in their careers, meanwhile Kent recruited an all-American from Indian hills jc and we got the 11th man.

Ben was just now named the MAC Freshman of the year by the way. ;)
He's not even the best frosh on our team.
No? Who is better, and why?
Preston is much much better. Plus he's he's a true freshman.
Preston leads BVP in assists, shoot %, FT%, mins/game. The same number of TOs while handling the ball significantly more. BVP leads in points/game 8.6 vs 6 and rebs/game 5.4 vs 4.1. Preston didn't disappear for long stretches of games.
I have to admit that I wasn't overly impressed by Preston early on, but he got better and better as the year went on.
Fair enough points to make. I'm supposing that voters only see in terms of points per game. Preston did prove to be very solid in the second half to the last third of the season.

Ask yourself this. If you could only pick between BVP and J Preston to start a team...who would you pick? I think you just answered your own question as to whom had the better freshman year. BVP was not nearly as consistent as J Preston.

Yet by allen's take, they're both terrible. Lol.

They are definitely not terrible. But they can certainly grow and improve big-time over the next 7 months heading into sophomore campaign.
