Anthony Parker was MVC POY as a junior. Osiris Eldridge has never been POY (except in preseason polls).
AP lead BU to the Conference title his junior year, and a berth in the NCAA. Osiris and the Redbirds have never won anything yet, and have yet to appear in an NCAA tournament.
AP was injured his senior season, and that kept him from winning POY a second time, and Bradley from a second title. OE still has this season to live up to the high standards that previous POYs like AP have set.
It could still happen, but I would take AP over OE.
Also, AP was a first round NBA pick. Let's see if OE gets drafted.
AP went on to a distinguished pro career- 2 time Euroleague POY, Euroleague finals POY, multiple Euroleague Championships, etc.
It remains to be seen if OE will succeed as a pro.
