PCTI XII Seattle All Tournament Team

 

PCTI XI Awardz

If you want to relive what is being labeled as the most competitive PCTI ever but don’t want to watch the full games on YouTube, you’re a bitch BUT also Sabin’s recaps are posted here:

·        Game 1

·        Game 2

·        Game 3

·        Game 4

·        Game 5

·        Game 6

·        Game 7

As close as the series was, you would not think that was the case based on the awards. I attribute this to the Boxes having a top heavy performance from a couple of guys (especially on the offensive end) and the Bullies had more of a spread of contributions. The Boxes dug in on defense and worked mainly through their offensive weapons and fought their asses off. The Bullies did not have players that were consistent and sputtered on offense because of it. On to the awards!

Just Missed…



BC – 2 All Tourney votes

BC had an “off year” and only received a couple votes for all tourney but he average 9.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. For most that would be a stellar (if not career) year on the offensive side. He realized his role would be better served as facilitator and led the Bullies in assists. Game 5 (half star) and 6 (1 star of the game) he had his best 2 games. If he makes his layups, I think he earns A/T.



Juice – 3 All Tourney votes

The other captain that had his own struggles even though he led his team in assists, 3 point %, and steals. He brought good energy to his defensive, was leading the charge on trying to get his team out and running, and outrebounded everyone except TP and Kyle. Ultimately, his mental weakness prevented him from making all tournament.



Abe – 5 All Tourney votes

The most decorated player in PCTI misses out on an award, which has only happened twice before (PCTI V and VIII). His shooting performance was not up to his usual standards and but when his team needed it, he performed in Game 7 with 18 points on 41% shooting and earning 1 of the stars of the game. Kudos to the Boxes for making his life difficult. To be fair he had a bachelor party (and wedding) to worry about!

 All Tournament





Hops – 1 MVP vote, 7 All Tourney votes

“WTF” was my reaction to an MVP (no I did not pull a Joe and vote for myself). I still disagree with the vote, but I guess some people are scared of my new bully persona and don’t want to get on my bad side! Game 4 was his shining moment (earning 1 of the stars of the game) but was also solid on defense all weekend. In a weekend where good performances were hard to come by, intangibles won out. My first ever award will be savored and then I will slip the headbead back on and bully some weights in the gym!



Sabin – 10 All Tourney votes

The resurgence! Sabin continues to inspire me (and hopefully everyone) that PCTI will be around for a long time and hard work in the offseason will pay off. After struggling physically towards the end of recent PCTI’s, Sabin’s consistency and sharp shooting made this an easy decision for most. He split half of a star of the game with Kyle by having 15 points and 9 boards and another star of the game in game 4 with 21 and 6. Just an overall good performance!

All Tournament/Defensive MVP



Beas – 1 MVP vote, 6 D-MVP votes, 6 All Tourney votes

TP – 4 MVP votes, 6 D-MVP votes, 5 All Tourney votes

I grouped these two together because the D-MVP vote was tied but I also think it’s very fitting in the  impact they had on our team. While Kyle’s numbers were ridiculous at times, the job TP did on him compared to everyone else cannot be understated. His energy and being an animal on the boards is uplifting for his team. Meanwhile, Beas was a menace on anyone he guarded. He started out making Juice a mental midget, then moved on to try and slow Spotlight and Sabin. Beas averaged 8.1 points, 6.4 boards, and 3 assists per game, while TP led our team in points (9.7), boards (10.9 good lord), blocks (1.7), and steals (1.9). TP was a star of the game in games 1, 4, and 5 but his impact is felt every game. Beas was a star of the game in game 1 and 7 because he kept making plays on both ends of the court. We obviously cannot fail to mention the biggest play in PCTI history from Beas when in the 3rd OT of game 7 he stole the ball and scored the series clinching layup!!

MVP



Kyle – 8 MVP votes, 6 All Tourney votes

Another year and another MVP award. I think we can all agree my hesitation to add him because of how dominant he can be on the court was warranted (but off the court the dude is perfect, except for skipping going out on Saturday this PCTI). It is hard for some people to vote for an MVP from a losing team, which is why this isn’t unanimous but a well deserved MVP. The first 2 days he was “held in check” and only averaging 15 and 7.5. The last day, his numbers are gaudy. The last 3 games he average 25 points and nearly 10 rebounds per. He earned 5.5 stars. He had 67 more SPERM for the weekend than the 2nd best. Even though he finally lost a series, this is his 3rd MVP in his 4 years of being in PCTI. Congrats to Kyle!
