Will Cherry's Defense

[jon]

Hello all. Wrote up a post wondering if Will Cherry could be the defensive player of the year in the Big Sky.

Just wanted to get the opinion of the people that watch him all the time... does he have that type of talent?

Yes. No question.

Most Definitely, YES. I will go further, he has NBA caliber defense and leadership. Shooting is still a work in progress. Even if that does not improve, if he shows he can make teammates better with his ball distribution, and putting them in position to score, he will help his stock by a lot. :thumb:

I would be surprised if he did not win the defensive MVP award in atleast one of the next two years. His quickness and reflexes are elite and he has a very good nose for the ball.

Thanks all, just wanted to confirm what I thought with those that watch Cherry the most. Think he has a solid chance to win the POY and DPOY this year (think the Griz will rely on Cherry a bit more than WSU relies on Lillard). He will be fun to watch this year, especially if he can take his game to the next level!

I think the Griz are going to get up and down the court fast this year.

Loved watching BQ play...but would LOVE to see some up and down.

Athlon Sporst picks Cherry as Big Sky 1st team for 2012. Lindy has Cherry and Selvig. Lindy also predicts Cherry as best defender.
