Stud of the Game: SJU-MU

I know if says TBD.

Even though conventional wisdom would say Jerel (another great stat night: 20 pts, 7 reb, 7 ast), I vouch for Jimmy Butler.

He has been the most productive bench player and went perfect from the field (3-3) and line (2-2) while grabbing 4 rebounds (2 offensive) and blocking a shot in 22 minutes.

Do it.

Make Butler the SOTG.

McNeal played better than Butler. Let's leave the sentimental accolades up to Jimmy Mac.

No doubt.

Just stating a case for someone valuable and outside the norm.

yeah.. reason for the TBD is that everyone that seemed to have stud positive numbers also had stud negative numbers... I usually look at TOs pretty negatively (they lose two points and an assist for every TO in my mind)... I also look at excessive shots from 3pt land with a poor percentage to justify it as even more negative.. (e.g. if you've missed more than 4 times as many threes as you've made but you're still shooting them then you're really just turning over the ball and hurting the team).  Almost just gave it to DJ since he had decent contributions even beyond the numbers and didn't really penalize the team by his anti-contributions (only 1 TO and only 3 shots from 3pt land - with 1 made).  I dunno.. maybe I should give it to the coach for making them play defense all practice every practice.
