Here are my picks for All-Stars and the Most Outstanding Player from the Fullcourt Press All West JUCO Camp.
These are based on my observations, primarily the stats I kept (though other, more subjective criteria also played a role).
I figured these out before even looking at the official All-Star game selections, so there may be some major differences.
In any case, here are my picks. I chose three teams of All-Stars, an Honorable Mention list and a Most Outstanding Player. Some (or all) of these might be surprises, but this is based on how they played Saturday night. I did massage the positions a little to make sure the best players got recognized.
So without further delay...the best and the brightest from the camp:
First Team:
PG - Mike Hernandez, Santa Ana
Nifty passer dished out 10 assists in two halves
SG - Matt Cook, LA Pierce

PF - Brian Santiago, Cuesta
9 pts, 5 rebs, 2 blk in one half
