2022 Mr Basketball Breakdown

<p>We only have a month left in the 2022 regular season and most teams have played around 20 games at this point. With that big of a sample size, we can take a look at the results and start making some predictions for the 2022 Mr Basketball award. Here’s a break down of front runners and predictions of who could make the ceremony in March.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Front Runners:</strong></span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="801588" first="Justin" last="Becker"], Robertson County - At this point, this is a two horse race for the award (in my opinion). Becker has nearly 3,000 career points and over 1,200 career rebounds while playing at one of the smallest schools in the state. In his Senior season, he’s averaging 35 points and 13 rebounds per game with shooting splits of 59/39/75. The 6’6 forward has had an impressive career and a big Senior season.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="801586" first="Turner" last="Buttry"], Bowling Green - The other potential winner is the EKU bound guard from Bowling Green. Buttry is over 1,500 career points and has helped the Purples to a lot of wins in his career. This season, Turner has averaged 24 points per game and has solidified himself as one of the best shooters in the state over his career. This year, he’s averaging shooting splits of 53/48/89.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Predicted Regional Players of the Year:</strong></span></p> <p>1st Region: [player_tooltip player_id="1371655" first="Garrett" last="Hayden"], Carlisle County</p> <p>2nd Region: [player_tooltip player_id="1151174" first="Jabrion" last="Spikes"], Caldwell County</p> <p>3rd Region: Amari Robinson-Wales, Owensboro</p> <p>4th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="801586" first="Turner" last="Buttry"], Bowling Green</p> <p>5th Region: Jaylen Tyus, John Hardin</p> <p>6th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="1370168" first="Mershon" last="Dickerson"], Butler or [player_tooltip player_id="926893" first="Darien" last="Lewis"], Fern Creek</p> <p>7th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="922999" first="Dez" last="Lindsay"], Male</p> <p>8th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="1009764" first="Brant" last="Smithers"], Walton-Verona</p> <p>9th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="926898" first="Mitchell" last="Rylee"], Covington Catholic</p> <p>10th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="801588" first="Justin" last="Becker"], Robertson County</p> <p>11th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="1215564" first="Will" last="Hardin"], Madison Central</p> <p>12th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="926889" first="Luke" last="Imfeld"], Boyle County</p> <p>13th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="923006" first="Jevonte" last="Turner"], Knox County Central</p> <p>14th Region: Landon Napier, Perry County Central</p> <p>15th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="926890" first="Colby" last="Fugate"], Paintsville</p> <p>16th Region: [player_tooltip player_id="926919" first="Brady" last="Bell"], Russell or [player_tooltip player_id="932768" first="Colin" last="Porter"], Ashland (recently reclassed from 2023)</p>
