An underrated part of his game. He can do that.

Hardaway Jr & Burke are also playing some good ball for them.

Updated. Also there were problems with some stats in the averages worksheet. Hopefully I fixed all of them.

Dwight Powell is quietly putting up a really intriguing year.

A guy that never really gets talked about is Daniel Mullings of New Mexico State. I saw him at the All Canada Classic when Kabongo dominated the rest of the competition. Mullings is a really athletic combo-guard that does a lot of things on the floor. He had a triple double last season.

I used to be really high on Birch when I first saw him play for Canada. I've cooled on him now, but I still think he can be a good player.

Bennett is obviously awesome. Stauskas has been lights out this year (over 70% TS%!) and Olynyk has been dominating everyone.

Jordan Bachynski is averaging close to 5 blocks a game and a bunch of games where he had 6 to 10 blocks.

I'm hoping Kabongo improves on his shooting and his decision making.

another guy who has come out of nowhere - at least thats what i call york university - is dejan kravic at texas tech. for however big a disappointment ty nurse has been, kravic has made up for it. averaging ~10 and 5, shooting just under 60% and just over a block and a half a game.

DX has moved Bennett into the top 5 this year. I have to admit when I first heard he was 6'7 I thought it might hold him back from his NBA dream but the way he's playing I'm seeing a little bit of Larry Johnson or Thadd Young to his game. I know a lot of people like to compare him to Brand but I think it's his perimeter skills and handle that will allow him to have an impact in the NBA. I see a bit of Brand too but hes kind of a mix of all 3 and thus his own player. A bit of Millsap too, I guess.

Olynyk with his second straight 30+ game; 31/8 tonight in the win against St. Mary's. And just as I predicited, he's now moved into the 1st round, by NBADraft.net

Mullings is playing really well. On a related note, NMSU's top three scorers are all Canadian; Mullings. Ty Watson and Bhullar. Pretty cool. Another "under the radar" guy is Jason Calliste for Detroit; I think he dropped 28 tonight.

Yep he did. Olynyk beasted again and Pangos had a great game as well.

Updated with Jan 10 games.

Gonzaga's Defensive efficiency is the worst amongst the top contenders for the NCAA title by a fair margin - and I think Pangos and Olynyk are unfortunately a part of that - they really need to develop in that regards.

Heck of an offensive team, however - arguably the best in the country -- and much of the credit for that goes to Pangos and Olynyk. What really impresses me about Olynyk is his ability to get tips and finish around the basket -- im not talking dunks, but the contested 3-5 footers that alot of big men miss. (After watching a game of Dejuan Coleman, Rak Christmas, and Baye Keita butcher those, it makes you appreciate someone who is really good at it) Add in the fact that really wasn't Olynyk's game when he started at Gonzaga and its quite impressive - really quick development. Redshirt year really worked out for him -- I am pretty sure Gonzaga were expecting a five year player, and I don't think he will make it to 2013/2014.

Assuming Michael Carter Williams leaves, Tyler Ennis might have to play 35 minutes a game for the Orange next year.

They will have decent depth at the 2, but not sure if any of those guys will be particularly adept as the lead guard.

IMO, I think the biggest disappointment so far has to be Kyle Wiltjer. Team's are going at him defensively and he is been very inconsistent scoring/shooting wise.
