might be only 1 solid NBA player in the entire bunch. CBB is way down this year.

Candidly, I'm not sure how you can put Sears in front of Tonje or Toppin but other than that, it's fine. I'd have like to have seen a mid-major nod (maybe Donovan Dent) but I guess they did put PJ Haggerty and Cooper Flagg on there.

The NBA and NCAAB are two very different games. I much prefer the college game.

I like the college game too, but that doesn't change my point. There isn't that much high end and developed talent in CBB this year. if there were we'd see more future pros on this list.

It's definitely not a down year in terms of depth of quality teams. In fact, it's probably one of the deepest fields in a long time.

I guess that depends on what you mean by high end and developed talent. I think there is a lot of high end and developed talent. It's just that much of it is lacking the size and/or athleticism that NBA thinks they need (even tho it's frequently proven they really don't).

It'll be interesting to see things moving forward, as A LOT of talent will be leaving CBB with the end of the COVID year guys.

I think 7 of the 15 listed here are COVID year guys (Broome, Sears, Dixon, Tonje, Cryer, Kalk, Lanier).

And did you know Cooper is barely 18 and should be a senior in high school? 😂👍🏻

Is Cryer for sure gone? I thought someone here said Houston was bringing the entire team back next year. I don't think that's possible though. A few of those guys have to be out of eligibility.

If they played Juco, NCAA gave them another year. That's how the 137 year old(s) can come back to Auburn again next year.

I'll never act like i know what the NCAA will do.

But his lowest game total seasons were 20 (frosh) and 19 (soph). That feels like far too many to get any type of waiver for.

Where's the 27 year old douche bag, Hunter Dickinson?

apparently I jinxed him by taking him #1 in the draft thread.

My luck is so bad, if it were raining whores, I'd get hit by a queer.

I'm really glad the voters saw how empty his numbers are. Dude has never been a guy that helps his team win consistently. Went to an Elite 8 as a freshman because he had strong leaders for teammates and has been on teams that have underperformed ever since.

Good question. Third in Kenpom's player of the year rankings and monster stats down the stretch.

Some of you really struggle to put aside your biases when evaluating Dickinson.

There hasn't been for a while. Today's game is a much different landscape vs the early 2000s and 2010s.

I'll never forget the talent pool in the tournament field the years Florida won it. Durant, Curry, Westbroke, Lowry, Reddick, Rondo, Connely etc. Those are just the ones off the top of my head lmao. Sooooo much of the NBA backbone was from that 2000-2010ish stetch.

How the hell did Noah or Horford not make 1st team? I'll have to go back and see who did.

There were a LOT of great players back then! Also remember what made Florida so great was how balanced they were. I think they all were averaging 11-13 pts a game iirc. No one guy had crazy numbers.

 

[954gator]

Plus Noah and Brewer were much happier with NCAA tournament MVPs.

Crazy Brewer wanted to come to UK.

You a bias against and over rated flopping dick head troll?

And Tonje should have been first team.

English?

He's an elite player no matter how you slice it. The metrics show his defense has even been pretty good this year.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

And Tonje should have been first team.

over who? Not saying you're wrong, but you need to show your math when you make a claim like that. That's my pet peeve, when people say so and so should've been rated higher but never give the name of the person they should replace.

Wait, Calipari doesn't have any first rounders? What's happening?
