Who is giving out BJ’s to coaches and media inside the Big Ten because I want to sign up! Wow… Daniel Oturu has been on of the most dominant big men in the country, let alone the Big Ten.
Here is where Daniel Oturu ranks in the Big Ten for each important individual statistic:
–– 2019-20 Big Ten Individual Stat Leaders – via ESPN
| Points – Player | Team | Avg. |
| Luka Garza, | IOWA | 23.9 |
| Daniel Oturu, | MIN | 20.0 |
| Cassius Winston, | MSU | 18.6 |
| Rebounds – Player | ||
| Daniel Oturu | MIN | 11.4 |
| Jalen Smith | MD | 10.5 |
| Xavier Tillman Sr. | MSU | 10.3 |
| Blocks – Player | ||
| Daniel Oturu | MIN | 2.5 |
| Jalen Smith | MD | 2.4 |
| Mike Watkins | PSU | 2.2 |
| FG % – Player | ||
| Myles Johnson | RUTG | .602 |
| Trayce Jackson-Davis | IND | .568 |
| Daniel Oturu | MIN | .562 |
Whoever is giving out these BJ’s is doing it for Jalen Smith from Maryland because he trails Oturu in every single statistical category but he still gets the nod at 1st Team All-Big Ten?
This decision is absolutely astonishing. The closer you look, the worse it gets and I am just shocked because all of these coaches have seen Daniel play all season. That’s a season in which he has raised himself from off of NBA draft boards, and into 1st-round/lottery conversations.
It’s absolutely absurd.
Maybe the Big Ten just screwed up the pictures of Jalen Smith and Daniel Oturu again. They did confuse the two last weekend during a Gophers broadcast. Is it possible, they confused Jalen and Dan again, this time including his name and picture? I almost think it is more likely than Dan not being picked ahead of him as as All-Conference… seriously, both the media AND coaches voted Smith over Oturu.
This can’t be real life…
Did BTN get Dan Oturu’s picture from his fake ID? #Gophers pic.twitter.com/WZdocF1SVQ

Daniel Oturu is voted second team All-Big Ten by coaches and media. When was the last time a player averaged 20 and 11 in the league and didn’t make first team? ? #Gophers pic.twitter.com/Ev4pEib7qL
