    Beat them at their game. Games like this make teams tougher. Bring on Arizona or Xavier

    The dude is almost a sure-fire elite role player. He can shoot, rebound, and finish at a high level. If you can get a player like that with the Cleveland pick, it's a steal.

    Markkanen is not ready. This years Bender.

    Those 6 turnovers did not leave a good first impression for me. Are we talking elite role player off the bench? That I can see if he he keeps his weight off. (400 lbs in 8th grade?) I just googled his life story......so I am definitely pulling for hm.

    What's funny is markkanen is even softer than Meyers. Think about that.

    Karnowski might not even get drafted but damn do I think he's going to stick in the NBA.

    How many bigs are ready? Again if we want an elite big with huge upside, we better draft him before he is ready or we won't have the opportunity to get him. Markk is going way before we draft so I am not too focussed on him. I do agree that he is not ready, but does that really matter?

    Damn Kansas looks good. Averaging 30 point victories though 3 games. They have some great young talent. IMO they are different this year because they use 1 big at a time instead of two. Better outside shooting then in the past....and they run. They look like the best team to me.

    He's like that big Chinese guy that used to do Kung Fu movies with Jackie Chan...built about the same but actually can kick some butt...he's got some Chris Kaman in his game and some Greg Ostertag

    We better not try to run with them. Dana needs to come up with another good game plan.

    Kentucky UCLA game almost here. Could potentially be the best game of the tournament as far as talent out on the court and future NBA star power. Going to be a very athletic up and down game, Kentucky defense is going to try to do their thing and avenge that out of conference loss earlier this year. Tomorrow the champion will show themselves!

    Lol. Jackson will shut down whoever he's guarding, and Mason will light up Pritchard.

    Hell, I've played against Pritchard and our PG lit him up.
