In the table below, Andre Miller is compared to the other leading candidate guards, according to CBS SportsLine's Rob Miech. This myopic windbag doesn't have Andre listed in his top 8 guards in the nation. We do not understand why. Andre is tops in several categories and has had more awards bestowed upon him in the last 9 months than any of his peers. Each category has a graphical representation to make viewing the data easier. Just click the link. The category leader is highlighted in green and the loser is highlighted in blue (of course). The other forward and center candidates in Miech's top 20 list are provided below for reference, however, this analysis will focus on guard play. These statistics were borrowed from CBS SportsLine, so we know Miech has access to this data. What we don't understand is why he's so blind. Decide for yourself.
