Is Rychart a legit medal chance

Isaac, why would you suggest my sentiments may not be practical? The Halls/Woollacott medal is an award specific to the ABA. I think a true ABA player should be rewarded with this award. One who has played several years and has shown the most improvement every year to reach the great level they are currently at. This also includes NBL players who have consistently played in the ABA for several years e.g. Oscar Forman, Jacob Holmes, David Cooper, Darren Ng etc. For a player of Dusty's calibre, in his first year with the ABA and not likely to continue in years to come, I don't think he should take it away from them. He was a great player before he joined the Rockets, he hasn't worked his way up the ABA ladder of greatness.

#140507, it was a personal opinion that everyone is entitled to. Not claiming to be fact nor trying to change the rules, therefore not showing ignorance at all you tool.

EC, are you okay, should we call a doctor??

I don't agree. Dusty should not get the medal as he is a player well and truly above the league he is playing. I would be inclined to reward an upcoming player who has really shown a great deal of improvement. one who comes to mind immediately is Marcus Ng. I can't believe the difference in quality in his game this year as opposed to previous years. This is the sort of achievement I would be rewarding at ABA level. Eric Burdon is also a good candidate. He has improved immensely at ABA level while not having a great deal of experience at NBL level.
