Voting for Parker is fine, especially for a Duke beat writer. But I just read the article and she is just a twat. Why even bring up a dumb tweet from December or whenever that had nothing to do with Warren as a player. Troll on twitter to your heart's content but don't inject that bullshit in to your actual work.

We got this. Gary Hahn said he's voting for TJ.

What's crazy about TJ's 42 yesterday was the way he got his points. Aside from some of his runners in the lane, almost all of the points were hustle baskets -- transition layups, offensive rebounds put backs, etc.

His jump shot was off all night, and he didn't hit a single 3. He just played within himself and ended up with a career high. Hard to believe a guy having an off-shooting night can score 42 points.

3/10/2014 8:11:55 AM

He scores so easy with his layup.

3/10/2014 9:24:58 AM

He has got to be the best finisher in the lane of any SF/PF in college basketball right now. I am actually surprised when TJ misses shots in the lane, contested or not.

This season has had its ups and downs, but this guy has been so much fun to watch throughout all of it.

^I wonder what TJ's WAR is.

He's so sharp driving into the paint.

"T.J. Warren scored 83 points and hit 30-of-45 from the field in his final two games of the regular season. The only thing missing from NC State's regular season finale at PNC Arena, in which Warren scored 42 points and grabbed 13 rebounds against Boston College, was for the sophomore to go full Maximus Decimus Meridius and ask Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association "are you not entertained?""

LOL @ all the Dookies pulling their hair on how to rationalize Parker's case.

Advanced stats? Eye test? NCAA team? lulzz

"What else we'll be talking about in the morning: North Carolina State's T.J. Warren hits the 40-point mark for the second straight game. The buzz surrounding Warren's candidacy for ACC Player of the Year and All-American has been growing every week -- and he's ending it with a bang. After scoring 41 points against Pittsburgh earlier in the week, Warren topped it in against Boston College. He put up 42 points and 13 rebounds, shooting 14 of 23 from the field and 14 of 17 from the free-throw line. Warren is averaging 24.2 points and 6.9 rebounds on the season. So what about Warren for ACC Player of the Year? Detractors would say that because the Wolfpack are likely not going to the NCAA Tournament, Warren shouldn't win the award. However, no player has been better in ACC play than Warren, regardless of his team's 9-9 conference record. He is the most game-planned-for player in the league, since he's clearly NC State's primary option. He doesn't have a Rodney Hood or a Tyler Ennis like Jabari Parker or C.J. Fair, and he doesn't have a smorgasbord of talented big men like Marcus Paige. He's got himself, and he's basically willed North Carolina State to nine ACC wins. Take Warren off the Wolfpack, and I'm not sure they're better than Boston College or Virginia Tech or Miami. It's not All-American honors, it's conference Player of the Year -- which I think should take into account value to team. And no one has been more valuable than Warren. He should be ACC Player of the Year."

Never see such a player with humanly impossible body control ability and soft hand touch.

[Edited on March 10, 2014 at 11:57 AM. Reason : He's a monster and fun to watch.]

3/10/2014 11:56:45 AM

Ovies and Gold both stated they voted for Warren - likely Medlin as well, based on comments/tweets.

Bret Strelow from The Fayetteville Observer voted for Warren. He had a pretty good column explaining his decision, if I recall correctly.

3/10/2014 12:29:15 PM

Even greg barnes from IC voted for warren, so sounds like its a safe bet at this point. Deservedly so ...

3/10/2014 12:38:45 PM

Most NC-based voters chose Warren (except the Duke ones).

3/10/2014 12:41:52 PM

Some of the Carolina media trolls voted for Paige, but that's just static at this point. No one with any real credibility voted for anyone other than Parker or Warren.

3/10/2014 12:43:06 PM

I'm sure some of the UNC trolls voted for Warren just to diss Parker and Dook.

3/10/2014 12:43:55 PM

I don't care how he gets the votes as long as he gets them.

3/10/2014 12:45:37 PM

I've said it before but if Parker (like Paige) didn't suck ass the first couple weeks of season maybe both teams would have met preseason expectations.

Warren is a 2nd team sporting news all american, along with Paige. Parker on first team.

Pretty impressive, since everybody else is on a team bound for the NCAA tournament.

Edit: I don't follow pack pride on Twitter, because I don't support them in any way. Fuck those guys.

Jabari Parker's on first team...

here come's the ACC ROY AND POY honors SMDH!

3/10/2014 12:56:07 PM

when do they announce?

[Edited on March 10, 2014 at 1:05 PM. Reason : POY]

3/10/2014 1:01:33 PM

Just did. No surprises and TJ/Jabari were unanimous.

[Edited on March 10, 2014 at 1:05 PM. Reason : Well fair over brogdon MAY be a surprise]

Sometimes the # of votes might give an indication of POY. So this kinda does the opposite.

3/10/2014 1:39:40 PM

I'm sure Triangle sports radio hosts are loving this. They're on autopilot for the rest of the month.

3/10/2014 1:42:44 PM

i really miss triangle sports radio. Living in richmond for 2 years now, local sports radio is just weak.

3/10/2014 1:44:13 PM

wow

that tie is interesting - and probably is a good thing for TJ. I would have assumed he would be trailing parker in 1st team votes...

3/10/2014 1:47:56 PM

it's not really a tie, they were just the only 2 who got named unanimously

3/10/2014 1:54:05 PM

POY was a separate ballot item.

3/10/2014 2:09:02 PM

So I take it that there are 77 total voters vs the 120 we were thinking earlier. Not that 120 was incorrect but that only 77 voted. Unless some voted for POY but not the All ACC teams.

Also, just saw where David Teel (Virginia Media guy) said on David Glenn show that he voted for TJ

i probably would have put brogdon over fair, especially after their late season shit show, but no real surprises.

well except mcadoo getting TWO first team votes.

aw man hate hate hate hate hate


So which one did it? I'd be inclined to think Maryland.

3/10/2014 3:23:58 PM

Turgeon. Only one I can think of..

3/10/2014 3:27:19 PM

Wonder if the same voter left Parker off solely to prevent any unanimous 1st teamers.

If so that person should lose their vote immediately.

Oh we are talking about coaches poll as opposed to the media poll that came out earlier. Did not realize they both voted.

Id bet my life it wasn't Roy or K.

Yeah I think both Roy and K are pricks but generally they are pro old ACC, my money would be on MD, Cuse, or Pitt.
