VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 1 – Victor Vazquez
Highest: 1 Lowest: 5 Average ranking: 2.08 Kristin: 1 – As I say pretty much every time we watch him play; he plays in the Matrix. That’s the only (not really) explanation for his ability to see two, three steps ahead of everyone else, send in those delicious passes and bend the game to his…

Highest: 1 Lowest: 5 Average ranking: 2.52 Kristin: 3 – Best. Speech. Everrrrrr. What a way to finish the season!

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 6 – Justin Morrow
Highest: 4 Lowest: 10 Average ranking: 6.24 Kristin: 6 – Justin Morrow had a really good year. I know that I’m perceived as biased, but it’s hard to look at that season and not say great things about Morrow (I’m looking at you low rankers). Building off a very good 2016 season, Morrow put that…
