He did have the numbers, but watching him play, he is quite blah and wouldn't have been nearly as good if he didn't have a zac elgie and a blake wurgler around him. He got most his points off wide open lay-ups, but scoring is scoring. He is a good rebound I will give him that, but when I look at the second team and see a jake landry who carried his team all season, or a jon kramer who had no one to play with either, it is hard for me to give shane the first team, no doubt he is a second teamer though.
Duchsherer was the best defensive player in the West IMO. Averaged two steals and two blocks a game and was the best rebounder in the West. He was very versatile on defense and was an excellent on-ball defender.
His offensive numbers aren't eye-popping, he only averaged about 15 points per game, but he did a lot for that team.
As well as Elgie played late in the season, he was very inconsistent early on. Wurgler, conversely, played well early and not so well the last month of the season.
As far as Landry goes, I thought Schultz was the best player on that team when I saw them. No doubt Kramer is a solid player, but Duchsherer was the best player on a 22-3 team. I think being on a good team gives him the edge.
