2011 Spring Season Recap by Mr. Squirrel, Austin Han!

2011 Spring Season Recap

Congrats to Team NYCE on winning the Chip.  OTers it was a hell of season.  A lot more dramatic and exciting then I thought it would be.  Everyone showcased their talents and all the teams were competitive.  The competition level jumped a great deal from the previous season and I’m sure it will jump again in the upcoming season.  Hope everyone is getting ready to make another run.  Big shout out to the CK Sports, Mark Lee, Refs, Staff, and all the players for making it a great season and we look forward to seeing everyone again next season.

2011 Spring Season Champs

NYCE 

Season MVP

James Choi, DB Isonation - 19.9 ppg (2nd) 4.1 made 3pg (1st) 87.5% Free Throw (4th)

• James Choi was pivotal to helping ISO finish as the top seed and runner up in the Chip.  He is one of the league’s biggest scoring threats, the attention he receives opens up his teammates.

Finals MVP

Mike Kim, NYCE - 12 ppg 2.4 spg (3rd) 3 apg (7th)

• Mike Kim came up big for champions Team NYCE in the finals and the throughout the playoffs for that matter.  He was a lockdown defender even when playing out of position and contributed in all aspects.

Rookie of the Year

Eddie Wang, NYCE - 19.9 ppg (2nd) 52.2% (4th) 5.9 rpg

• Eddie Wang took the league by storm, as a rookie he was also in the running for MVP.  A great scorer who makes his teammates better all while shooting a ridiculous 52.2% from the field.

Defensive Player of the Season

Steve Hong, Elite 8 - 9.6 ppg 9.2 rpg 2.8 bpg (1st)

• Steve Hong is a game changer in the paint.  He averaged a near 3 blks per game including an 8 blk game performance.  Even if he didn’t get the block, he made you alter your shot or think twice about entering the paint.

Most Improved Player of the Season

Mike Song, United Nations - 16.7 ppg (6th) 10.7 rpg (1st)

• Mike Song was a beast this season, he might not have had a bad year last year but the jump in his numbers this season was too large to ignore. 17 and 11 are near MVP numbers.

First Team All-OverTime

G – James Choi, DB Isonation - 19.9 ppg (2nd) 4.1 made 3pg (1st) 87.5% Free Throw (4th)

-He probably had the most well rounded numbers and did it all for one of the top teams, that equals MVP.

G – Mark Lee, Royal Flush - 24.2 ppg (1st)  43.9% FG

-While his team may have struggled, he was the scoring champ and only player to average over 20 ppg.

F – Eddie Wang, NYCE - 19.9 ppg (2nd) 52.2% (4th) 5.9 rpg

-Carried NYCE early in the season while they were missing key pieces from their lineup and helped them finish with the 2^nd seed.

F – Chris Youn, DB Isonation - 12.8 ppg 9.1 rpg (5th)

-Always one of the most versatile players in the league and while his numbers may be down he was able to keep his teammates involved and do whatever his team needed.

C – George Chan, Hung Lo - 16.3 ppg 7.9 rpg

-An absolute monster with a soft touch and almost impossible to keep out of the paint.  His inside presence made HLO a lot tougher to guard and created foul problems for opposing bigs.
