FAYETTEVILLE — SEC basketball writers didn’t do Moses Kingsley any favors by voting him the conference’s preseason player of the year last fall.

Kingsley was undoubtedly one of the best returning players in the league entering his senior year, but his game didn’t necessarily fit in the POTY mold. His style of play, skill set and the makeup of the roster around him made him a long shot to win the postseason version of the award even before he fell short of matching the offensive production from his junior season.

His scoring fell from 15.9 points per game as a junior to 12 as a senior, in part because the Razorbacks were a deeper team with more scoring punch.
