32 All-Conference Teams, From Greatest (SEC) to Good (MEAC)

The MEAC All-Conference team would be the weakest of the 32 All-Conference teams, but the sum of their players at www.valueaddbasketball.com still projects as a 92-70 winner against the likes of Tennessee Tech and Illinois State ranked in the middle of the team ratings at www.kenpom.com.

In fact, it would be closer because any All-Star team needs to share the ball and the top eight MEAC players average holding the ball a total of 97 times a game—27 more than typically happens in a game. Each player would shoot better with less defensive attention, but overall the MEAC would score several points fewer than 92.

But ignoring that we are being a little generous let’s look at the best eight in every conference and how they stack up against each other.

The Value Add rankings through Thursday’s games created the closest top three in its history, with neither LSU’s Ben Simmons (14.91 Value Add) nor Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield (14.86) as strong as Oregon State’s Gary Payton (14.86 after averaging 23 points, 13 rebound, 4 steals, and 6 assists in games against very good Colorado and California teams).

We have never had three players within 0.05 of the top, which equates to a difference of just 0.035 point per game or one point difference between the three over the course of 29 games. The 1st team All-Americans would be rounded out by Colorado’s Josh Scott (13.71), who just beat Payton’s Oregon State, and UNC’s Brice Johnson. Keep in mind players received a 0.0 for games missed—or Denzel Valentine of Michigan State and Kris Dunn of Providence would be threatening for Player of the Year.

However, when you add the offensive and defensive Value Adds of the top 8 players from each conference (see table below for actual players names) the following are the projected scores each All-Conference team would average if playing as a team against Tennessee Tech and Illinois State in the middle of the PAC.

Here is how the All-Conference teams would rank:

1, SEC 108-61
2, P12 101-56
3, ACC 109-64
4, B12 104-63
