They clearly showed last year that they value the conference championship. So if we get it, I just don't see how you can put a hurt guy and a loser who hasn't shot well ahead of Evans.

Evans is certainly a 1st team talent/contributor, but I'm guessing the coaches (who vote on these honors) will prioritize the players they picked for preseason 1st team who stayed relatively healthy and had decent seasons. That includes all the players I listed except BJ Taylor (who Clark replaced). Maybe the coaches will come to their senses and choose Evans over someone like Jalen Adams who is less efficient and whose team is not a contender. If Milton returns to play this season he will definitely make 1st team.
