March Madness | NBA prospect watch 

Post#1 » by yoyoboy » Thu Mar 15, 2018 5:12 pm

Is this allowed here? Sorry mods, I know there's an NCAA board but it's a ghost town over there and I figured more people would see this here.

Oklahoma currently up 4 on Rhode Island. Young is being swarmed out there but he's 4-4 from the field.

Hope this can stay up since no one goes on the NCAA board

Young has no help, man. It'll be a shame if we only get to see him play one game in the tournament. I want to see him go up against Duke next round.

Am I crazy that I would think about drafting Young second after Ayton? I reallyyy like his game especially next level.

Doncic shouldn't go outside the top 2. His game is perfect for the next level. I like Young a lot though.

He needs to stop giving it to his teammates. They can't do anything.

Yes, I'm sure there will be plenty of people who want to talk about March Madness and the NBA prospects and few people seem to know that forum is there.....but with the top prospects being watched and a bunch of NBA lottery teams jockeying for draft position, it definitely relates to a number of NBA team's future players....in a few months time.

I'm sure many will call you crazy but no one knows. I'm high on him but I'm really high on Doncic too. I'd take Doncic 1 right now despite being an AZ fan and Phx needing a C.

Feel like my bracket is good until the NC State/Seton Hall game

His teammates went 1-11 from three, 9-16 from the line, and had 5 assists to 7 turnovers.

Every time he trusted them to do something with the ball they utterly failed. I think Young was pretty good today and I still have him high on my board. I don't even think LeBron would be able to take this Oklahoma group sans Young very far in the tournament.

NC State, SDSU and Miami are the only wins I have in today's games I'm questionable on. Alabama game should be good too but I think Bama should win that one.

I meant to say sans Young. But the fact is in the very next round they would be facing a Duke team with 5 legitimate NBA players on the roster in Bagley, Carter (two top 10 picks), Gary Trent Jr, Trevon Duval, and Grayson Allen (probably first rounders). This Oklahoma team would've gotten absolutely beat down if they faced Duke next and so LeBron could probably do it, but it's not as easy as people would think.

Yeah, I got you meant sans Young but I feel like even an 18 year old Lebron would have dragged any team to the Final Four at least. He's so head and shoulders above everyone else, I mean he averaged 20 points per game his rookie year, he would have been putting up legendary numbers in the NCAA.
