Neat idea - an all-star game between D1 and D2. www.naia.org/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=27900&ATCLID=209402731Here are the players selected for D2 Division II Team Devin Harris, Oklahoma Wesleyan Joshua Hart, Virginia Intermont Adam Herman, Concordia (Ore.) Idris Ibn Idris, Bethany (Kan.) Dwayne Johnson, Southeastern (Fla.) Brad Karp, Saint Xavier (Ill.) Kyle Lindbergh, Dordt (Iowa) Joe Mitchell, Friends (Kan.) Derek Semenas, Cardinal Stritch (Wis.) Justyn Watkins, Thomas (Ga.) Nobody from the CL or WHAC? What's up with that? and maybe the selection committee should be embarrassed that they don't have the national tournament MVP on the roster? |

Only 1 player from final four teams!!! Guess that shows teams win championships.

I've not looked at the individual stats on this group, but this may end up biting the selection committee for D2 in the rear. No doubt these players have great individual talent, but as jbh stated teams win championships. This may turn out like the NBA all-star game, 165-161, no defense. Whoever has the ball at mid-court will dribble one-on-one and look for their shot, not much team cohesion. We shall see.

Also consider this, Wiedner out played two guys on this roster.. Mitchell from Friends and Johnson from Southeastern.
I also believe this selection was before the National tournament. If that is true, they should wait until the tourney is over...

Karp (played at Valpo in HS) has been a 20-10 guy on a pretty good team for 4 years. Best player ever at st X, probably. He would be a great team-like addition to any team.
Weider never has guarded the other teams best guy.
I have no idea of anyone else on the the D2 team, my SWAG is that they were looking at All-Stars that were not advancing deep into the tournement, the thinking being that the guys in the final would 'get theirs'... I would also guess the selections have more to do with body of work.
So I wonder (just being difficult), why not Miller from Grace?

Maybe a chance to get some guys one last chance at exposure to talent scouts. As opposed to being well-rounded, fundamentally sound team players the guys chosen probably haven't necessarily met their full potential. Just a guess.
