I have watched A LOT of SVC basketball in my life. Let’s make a couple points that need addressed.
1. Swingle is the leading scorer in SVC history and in his best season his team finished 4th in what is arguably the worst year the league has had in a decade. I am so sick of the argument “if you take them off the team...”. How about when they’re actually on the team? 4th Place? In this league? Doesn’t cut it for somebody who’s going to score 1800 points. He’s been out rebounded too many times for me to consider his presence a huge factor.
2. Perdue does everything for Piketon. He scores, rebounds, passes, etc. He’s their guy. He’s been consistently good every night and makes his team better by being on the court.
3. Swackhammer - as good as he is offensively - is the best defensive player in the league and it’s not even close. He are some things Logan does that don’t show up on a stat sheet.
A. He takes pressure off the other guards to open up their games. (See Brandon Kennedy all time leader in 3’s made)
B. He guards the other teams best PG every night (see game at Chillicothe - 6 assists, 0 TO’s)
C. He wins. (See 56-0 in the SVC on his career)
IMO, it’s a no brainer. Perdue and Swackhammer split as Co-POY because they are on their teams and they make everybody around them better and they are wins added to their team. They play all around, they are great scorers, and they do their job night in and night out.
