The voting for PCTI IIIIII is in the books! Thanks to
everyone for voting. PCTI 6 proved to be another lopsided victory with Team
Wilson beating Team Spotlight 4 games to 1. The games were pretty close
throughout, but in the end Team Wilson had more firepower and it reflected in the
All-Tournament voting. Half the players in PCTI got a vote of some sort, so
congrats to everyone that did. We also made some history which I will cover
later. I will start off by sharing those that got votes but did not make the
All-Tournament team:
The UNO Club:
Dan Fruit Stand 1
Vote Man
While Danielle did not put up huge numbers, he continued to
be the steady team leader he has established throughout PCTI. Stand is always
one of the best (if not THE best) defenders in PCTI. He led all players in
steals. He also led all players in assists. Those are two areas that show you
he is dedicated to helping his team win. Dan continues to get the respect from
players in PCTI for his team first attitude and when he doesn’t he puts them in
their place. Just ask Wes! Congrats to Fruit Stand for his 1 vote he received.
AHOP
Thanks to everyone who voted for me! It must have been the
0-12 performance from 3. Luckily I carried Team Wilson to a tournament win!
The Near Miss
Bambi
BC was the only person to garner more the 1 vote and not
make the All-Tournament team. Bambi was one of the main reasons Team Spotlight
were in the games towards the end. He put up 14.2 points per game and 9.8
rebounds per game, including 20-10 and 18-16 in games 4 and 5. BC continually
attacked the rim and created offense for his team. BC continues to create
match-up problems for the opposing team as he can knock down outside shots,
drive to the basket, or score in the post. While BC had a great tournament, for
the second year in a row it wasn’t enough to get him to his 3rd career
PCTI award.
The All-Tournament Players
Hollywood Thompson
Gunner Dawson was All-Tourney in PCTITWO and MVP in PCTI3.
He is always in the discussion for All-Tournament, but has missed out the other
years. Joe told our team with Abe, Ben, and Smo he knew we could score in
multiple ways and wanted to focus on getting others involved and getting back
to his old ways of playing tenacious D (shout out Jack Black and Kyle Gass).
While he still got his shots and averaged over 13 points per game, he played
great D and had a career high 9 blocks. Outside of the 9 blocks, his most
impressive stat was 1 turnover all weekend. For the amount of time he handles
the ball and attacks the rim that is incredible, reflected in his 10-to-1 A/TO
ratio. Congrats to the Actor for his All-Tournament selection with 8 votes.
Osama Bin Wilson
Fresh off an MVP performance in FIVE, DJ Bin gathers 9
All-Tournament Votes to join the Doctor on the team. This is Wilson’s 4th
post season award. Wilson gets a lot of love for his versatility on offense and
takes some heat for his lack of D. He does well when he doesn’t have to focus
on shutting anyone down on D and can shoot the gaps on D, which is exactly what
he got to do this year. Bin also was in great shape which showed with his 14.4
PPG. Wilson shot the highest percentage all weekend with 47.5% which is awesome
considering he took 59 shots. He was very consistent all weekend on both ends
of the floor. Congrats JD!
The MVP
ABE
History has been made!! This is the first time in the
history of PCTI that the MVP was unanimous! Does that mean that Abe voted for
himself? Absolutely. Does anyone else deserve the nod, clearly not. Abe has
been the most dominant player in PCTI proven by his accolades. The first four
years here are his awards: AT, MVP, AT, MVP. Year 5 he fell apart in Denver but
admitted he was not in a good place at the time. In PCTI6, he came back with a vengeance.
He averaged 18.4 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 2.2 APG, and 1.2 SPG. Abe is a difficult guard
for anyone due to his ability to shoot from outside but also his size and post
moves. Some people thought he and Joe would not play well together, but they
were on the same page all weekend and made it near impossible for Team
Spotlight to stop them. Congrats to Abe on the unanimous MVP! It will be
interesting to see how captains shake out now…
