2019-20 Team MVP:@MasonMBB

Physical, strong, and immensely skilled @Aj12Wilson
has a chance to make MAJOR noise in 2021.

He's coming off his best season in which he earned A-10 Most Improved Player while blocking a ridiculous 2.9 shots per game.

Scary ceiling.

When did flexing like this become a thing?

It's weird, right?

I see it everywhere, but the "fist facing down" flex is far from the most impressive/intimidating/flattering.

LOL, but he's still got his arms bowed.

The first guy I noticed doing the arms straight down thing was RJ Barrett at Duke and now it seems like it's the go-to move.

I mean, CLEARLY unimportant, but interesting to me how these things come about. It seemed like the go-to flex forever was either the "most muscular" pose or the "double bicep" pose.

Lol AJ can flex his calves for all I care as long as he keeps bailing out our defense and throwing down some balls on chin dunks on the other end. Great video guys, enjoyed the series. Would love to see the Jack Tempchkin highlight tape next.

If he shoots 33% from three this year he can flex his fists into my face, and I'll take it with a smile :)

Thanks Pablo.

Of course, when I see this list, I am still baffled that Copes actually is number 5. I just don't remember him being much of anything on the court, and Dykes below him at 6 I remember as a beast, so either my recollection is totally wrong, which is certainly a possibility, or I must have truly blocked out the Copes years, which seem to coincide with the virus ... so just maybe.

And then you remember that Copes did that in about 2 and a half seasons.... Between injuries and him leaving the program he didn't play in all that many games.

He really was a monster defensively.

He was a beast until he was undercut by a Drexel player and got a concussion. He had 7 blocks in that game.
