Shake I can get the argument for leaving him off 2nd team because he missed 9 games, but there is little argument if he had played SMU would have been top 5 in conference and he would have likely been 1st team all conference. He was playing up to AAC Preseason POY hype. I think he got the nod, because of how much of an impact he had on SMU by not playing.

Melvin Frazier if you have watched him play is one of the best 8-9 players in the conference and a potential 1st round pick, he is just on a poor team.

If we're going to give awards to people based on how much of difference it made to the team that they didn't play for; I would like to recognize Lebron James as AAC POY. Think of how much of an impact he would have had IF ONLY HE WOULD HAVE PLAYED FOR TULSA.

That is like 14 year old boy argument. Shake played for SMU and showed his impact this season and in conference play. As I said, I could see leaving him off 2nd team, because his injury. Just stating from being only guy in conference to average over 18/4/4 and shot over 42% from 3 through the season and those 9 games he can show he was one of 10 best in the conference and his value is clear.

Shake would have been a first teamer if he played all year. He didn’t, he missed half of the conference schedule. And then you leave off a guy that plays on the team that finished tied for second (projected to finish 6th in preseason) who averaged 15 PPG, played lights out defense, and was one of the best shooters in the entire country. I have a bigger issue with Frazier. Rewarding a guy whose team finished 10th in conference!? Travesty.
