i believe niemczyk is the best player in this tournament and willen is a very close second

Why?

Just because Niemczyk has more points after 3 games? Overall I believe Willen is a much better player. And that is not taking anything away from Niemczyk. Willen has proven he can shoot from the arc, he is killer at the free throw line, and is obviously a major threat under the goal. The only game I saw Niemczyk play his FG percentage must have been around 25% since he took a lot of stupid shots when his teammates were wide open. Willen makes good passes when he can't get a shot off. I would rather have a good all around player than someone who just shoots the ball a lot, even if he is the best shooter in this tournament.

willen is the best player by far!!! niemchoviekcla wouldnt get double digits vs. charleston or jackson!!! unless he could pour it in from half-court!!

are you kidding me?! i've watched nick niemczyk play alot this year already, and from what i have seen, he can keep a dribble and go shoot from anywhere. I have seen him almost fall down going in between two people and still score or draw a fould. I seriously think he can get double digits against Jackson or Charleston. He did it last year, and hes better this year than ever. you probably don't even know nick, you've just seen him play at the x-mas tournament and going to judge him by that. come on!

niemczyk may be the best player to ever come out of bell city..and i'm supposing you people aside from redhawks09 haven't seen him play other than this tournament. if you compare niemczyks season percentages to willens i bet niemczyks are mostly better maybe aside from field goal. and niemczyk was being hammered by scott city and cape central with no foul calls. excellent player.
