MAAC Monday: Preseason award predictions

In advance of Tuesday's Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference preseason award show, we now take the time to offer our own predictions on who will bring home the hardware this March:

Player of the Year: Justin Robinson, Monmouth (2015-16 stats: 19.3 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 3.8 APG)

To no one's surprise, last season's Player of the Year is the favorite to repeat. Robinson's impressive junior year for a 28-win Monmouth team gives him the inside track to becoming the first two-time MAAC Player of the Year since Luis Flores led Manhattan to back-to-back conference championships in 2003 and 2004. If the Hawks are as strong as they are projected to be, Robinson's name will once again be called five months from now.
