By: Nick Marcinko -- February 10, 2025 Gators’ senior guard Walter Clayton Jr. is amid the best season of his collegiate career, averaging 17.5 points per game, 3.5 rebounds, and a career-high 4.0 assists. The 6’3, 195-pound Lake Wales, Florida native is shooting 45.4% from the field including 36.6% from three-point range. Clayton Jr. ranks T-7th in the SEC in scoring and holds the second best shooting percentage among guards in the top 10 in league scoring, trailing only Vanderbilt’s Jason Edwards by 0.1%. But perhaps the most impressive statistic is Florida’s record. The Gators are 20-3 (7-3 SEC) and rank as the No.3 team in the country, largely thanks to Clayton Jr.’s play down the stretch. With eight regular season games to play, head coach Todd Golden believes his star point guard is entering the conversation for SEC Player of the Year.

Sounds like CTG is saying that WC is "entering MVP" conversation, let's get an outside opinin before making such a leap.
What would be funny is if Walt is SEC POY and Broome is National POY. I think that one time an SEC coach was SEC Coach of the Year and another coach was National COY. Maybe Kruger and Richardson in 1994? Could have been another one.
