Mid-American Preseason Player of the Year: Darion Anderson

National Hoops Report Mid-American Preseason Player of the Year
Darion Anderson, SG, Junior, Northern Illinois

There may not be a more wide open league for teams and players this season than in the Mid-American. Take your pick for Player of the Year. Seriously. There are probably seven guys that could all make a strong case for the award that means very little.

My pick is Anderson.

Here’s why: he’s a terrific score (16.9 points a game last year). He’s a great rebounder (5.4 a game) for a 6-2, 200-pound guard. He’s the top player for what I believe is one of the top two teams in the league.

But it is a crap shoot.

The race is so wide open that Anderson could even “lose” the award to his own teammate, Xavier Silas.
