Man Arizona is such a bad team besides their top 3 players... but man those 3 are all future NBA players, and I think good ones. Terry has a ways to go, but BM and Koloko are ready right now..

All that said I'm not betting on Zona to win it all, I actually bracketed them to lose in the S16. But I watch all Pac12 teams way too much so I might be overcriticizing them

Only guard I'd consider taking over Mathurin is Ivey. That's it. And I wouldn't let him drop below 5.. 3 level scoring, great athlete, and I think his only major bug-a-boo is his off-ball defense, which I think is pretty standard for most college players

Mathurin has it all for sure. I could see him going top 10 or higher.

I think the top 4 will be Smith, Chet, Banchero, Ivey then its a debate between Mathurin and Murray.

Ultimately think thats how it shakes out depending on who the top 4 teams are, but man.. I think I'd rather bank on Mathurin than the 3 bigs, all of whom have significant question marks around them. Ivey and Mathurin seem like much safer bets to be good NBA players, but can't teach height :dontknow:

If I was starting a team from scratch, I dont think I'd let Mathurin go past #3 maybe #4, honestly. I keep hemming and hawing on Chet, and watching that Auburn game kinda shook me on Jabari a bit. I dont like Paolo as much as a lot of people do, I have him a top 5/6 guy because I havent seen enough of Keegan to go one way or the other on him

Considering Lu and SGA worked out for y’all. Just stick to drafting Canadians - go with Mathurin. He’s gonna be special.

Chet has bust written all over him.

Could definitely see a scenario where the best player won't be one of the bigs. Also i think teams could fall in love with a guy like Eason after the combine kinda like P. Williams rising after the fact.

Sucked to see Jabari's jumper fail him like that. He's been so deadly with it all season even when contested.

I don't know why Holmgren is ranked so high. He wouldn't be my choice.

Yes, You are supposed to hate Duke and Kentucky.

I like him a lot. I think his game will translate well to the NBA, especially if he gains more confidence in this mid-range jump shot. If anything, his NBA Draft stock seems to be undervalued.

I'm a Celtics fan, and he reminds me of a taller, slightly less athletic Robert Williams with a better shot. Similar defensive and shot-blocking skills.

Largest FT disparity in NCAA Tournament history. Only the 3rd time in tournament history a team had more FT attempts than FG attempts. Just absurd. The officiating in general this tournament has been horrendous. For most games. That UNC-Baylor game was one of the worst I’ve ever seen in my life

Thats alot but i don't remember seeing alot of bad calls. Most of them probably come from Edey who is 7'3 and gets hacked a bit under the rim.

Purdue is also a bit of a grinder type of team that doesn't usually end up in the prettiest of games.

Chet can do some special things out there at his size. Not sure how many times you watched him throughout the year but hes pretty damn good.

Nope. Only 14 of 46 those FT’s came from both Eddy and their starting PF Trevion Williams combined. The other 32 FT’s came from their Guards or backup bigs! Wild.

Texas Tech can't shoot it, I could see him getting 10 blocks in that game.

Duke might be better off going big with some Williams-John minutes together and making the offense just Banchero iso stuff and trying to win 65-60.

The PG Kriisa had to be hurt, taking only 3s. And Tubelis is normally a solid PF type who finds a way to get easy buckets running the floor and off cuts and such, but he was terrible and got benched.

Terry looks like a lot a Raptor type, eh? Big ballhandler, good defender, developing shooter. If he comes out he might well be there at 33...
