My top pick was unexpected but alsp somewhat easy: DePaul

Surprisingly strong at the top with multiple high end talent, an all time great and fairly solid depth per player total and win shares. The most solid source left

Villanova is really strong and they have arizin but their depth after top 2 is less impressive

Cincinatti is similar to villanova for me, an all timer (arizin vs oscar) a great player (twyman vs lowry) but spmewhat weaker after their top 2's in deptg and total strong talent

Notredame and minnesota are ultra close to me as i see their top 2 as comparable talent, their high end talent as comparable and their depth as comparable

In fact all 4 of these are very close to me, strong top 2's, with good high end talent but lacking stars adter the top 2 players

France and serbia fit a similar mold but they have weaker overal depth

St johns is fascinating as they lack a superstar but have 5 all star~ players which is the highest, it make me tempted to pick them at 2...which i will do

The 3rd pick is ultra tricky but since is just so close all around i will go with the best player left bwtween cincinatti, minnesota, notre dame, villanova, france and serbia

Cincinati with oscar robertson (although the weaker win shares gives me pause)

I missed the mention of DePaul and did not consider them. But I think they're a good mention and will actually switch my vote to them at #1, sliding my other three picks down a spot for the time being.

1. DePaul
2. Villanova
3. Minnesota

Final scores:

DePaul - 6 pts
Villanova - 5 pts
Minnesota - 3 pts
St. John's - 2 pts
Cincinnati - 1 pt
San Francisco - 1 pt

DePaul kinda came out of no where; but then so did Nova and Cincy.
