    Yeah, remind me when Zach Collins was the MVP of the FIBA U-19 World Tournament.

    That sounds like a coaching decision, not a problem with Holmgren's game.

    Wow. Two #2 seeds got upset by #10. South Dakota beat Baylor and Creighton advanced to Sweet Sixteen for the first time after upsetting Iowa with a basket in final seconds. Playing in Iowa.

    Not really similar players. Garza is much more perimeter oriented.

    Notes Dame’s a fun team to watch. Unselfish team ball, great ball movement. Figures, they’re primarily Seniors.

    Blake Wesley should be a top ten pick.

    I picked Miami to beat Auburn in my bracket just because I was SO underwhelmed by Auburn's starting guards. Not disappointing so far. Bench keeping them alive

    Trade the picks and get a vet star to pair with Dame.

    Yeah Auburn’s guard play is very suspect. Their defense has really carried them at times this year because there’s times they go on long scoring droughts despite having a dynamic offensive player.

    Correctamundo.

    I’m a big fan. Smooth handle and the kid can shoot. Born in 2003, I have undies older than him.

    It baffles me how guys can have 3 point range but miss free throws so consistently. When I used to play I was automatic from the free throw line. Muscle memory, just a slight flick of the wrist.

    I realize that fatigue can play a factor late in games, but still. High school girls shoot under hand better than some of these dweebs.

    Smith another big athletic type that doesn't post up much, like to hang around the three line.

    This is going to be a weak draft.

    Jabari with a less than stellar performance.

    His teammates are far worse than Chet’s though. Teams really can’t key in (nor have to) key in on Chet.

    Probably when he was on top with the smaller guy on him he did nothing with and his screens was weak what kind I say you have your opinion of him and I got mine so leave it as that.
