You think Rush is a good defender? If anything he's one of the worst defenders of all of KU's starters. He had a great game Sat. against TX when Self put him on Durant but if you are going to judge an entire season clearly Rush wasn't good on defense at all.

ROFL

Bill Self, 2-10-07: "Brandon’s our best defender. He’s also been our leading rebounder, and going into the A&M game, he’s been our best performer in conference play by far."

I probably sound stupid but... What is the difference between Rookie of the year and best newcomer?

ROYTT(FOTY) is for incoming freshman.

NOTY is for any player. It could be a freshman or a guy who transferred from JUCO or another D-1 institution.

He was our shutdown guy this year. Remember the dude @ISU who was going nuts from 3? Put Rush on him and he go bye bye. Rush is a stopper. That's just one example besides the job on Durant that jumps to mind, I'm sure there were others.

They dont necessarily choose players by a standard 5 man position team. Especially when it comes down to 3rd team and honorable mention selections.

You all realize they don't actually play games with these teams, right?

If there's a tie in the voting for the fifth spot, then I'm sure they add both.
