There are definitely three big-time players for Siena that many people recognize...all three of them are on the All-MAAC First Team, but how do none of the other coaches realize junior point guard Ronald Moore's importance.

Siena coach Fran McCaffery constantly refers to the "big four."

If you picked the top 16 players (there are six on the Second Team) regardless of team, Moore would find his way on the list, probably on the Second Team.

With that said here are the three teams.

First Team

Kenny Hasbrouck,* Siena

Alex Franklin, Siena

Edwin Ubiles, Siena

Jonathan Han, Fairfield

Ryan Thompson, Rider

Second Team

Anthony Johnson, Fairfield

Gary Springer, Iona

Brian Rudolph, Loyola

Antonie Pearson, Manhattan

Tyrone Lewis, Niagara

Harris Mansell, Rider

Third Team

Frank Turner, Canisus

Marquis Sullivan, Loyola

Devon Austin, Manhattan

David Devezin, Marist

Wesley Jenkins, St. Peter's

Here are Moore's stats from last season....
8.6 points, 5.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds per game and a 2.4 assist to turnover ratio

Here are some of the guards who made it over him....

Frank Turner 12.9 pts, 4.6 ast, 4.3 reb - 1.2 ast/to ratio
David Devezin 9.7 pts, 4.3 ast, 2.4 reb - 2.1 ast/to
Brian Rudolph 7.1 pts, 4.3 ast, 3.0 reb - 1.8 ast/to

You see from theses stats that if Moore doesn't belong with that group, something is wrong. He's got the second most points, top in assists and second in rebounds, while having the best assist to turnover ratio. 

Here are the polls for the teams. Not surprisingly Siena is the unanimous favorite.

The Siena women's team was picked to finish seventh and that's when Shondaya Burrell was thought to be on the team. 

Burrell was selected to the First Team. 

A person who was in NYC for the Media Day told me it was very strange when the video came up with Burrell in it. 

This is not good news for the women's team.
