    You've got to make your free throws.

    I don’t see much of a ceiling in Banchero.

    That Caleb Love kid is a killer. Not saying he’s gonna be a star or anything but I’d take him on my team any day.

    They should have given him the ball every time down. He was creating so many looks with just his gravity. Solidified him as a #1 pick for me and im glad i didnt waver on that.

    But they lost cuz of missed free throws.

    The North Carolina kids are going to be real wild cards in this draft.

    Manek maybe can't handle it like Joe Ingles and isn't as tall as Kelly Olynyk, but he's got a game like the Bogdanovices. Real pure shooter and he's underrated as a defender inside.

    Bacot's just a beast on the boards. Great motor. Make foul shots. If he was a couple of inches taller and a year younger he'd be borderline late lottery ... but he's not. Wouldn't shock me if he end up some good team's Montrezl Harrell.

    And Caleb Love ... basketball's version of Captain Insane-O. He gets his shot so easily either off the dribble or the catch that he's never had to learn what a good shot is. If he gets good coaching and is receptive to it, he could be very, very good. Has no conscience and a short-term memory, so he's not afraid of all of taking big shots. Great body control. Then you look at his numbers and and you'd think he was undraftable. He reminds me a lot of Coby White. Montae Ellis? Will win you a game one night and lose one for you the next. I'd love to have him in summer league and camp but you better either have a really good NBA roster or a bunch of extra picks to take him in the draft, because his performances are all over the board.

    Kansas is every bit as talented as North Carolina but plays every night like it. That North Carolina's strung five good games together is a minor miracle. Jayhawks are great players individually and a great team in concert.

    So glad he didn't. Glad he's retired now.

    So if Kansas wins do we get to see MJ cry again?

    This game might be a blow out. Hope NC can stay in it.

    Seems like NC is just flat out playing tougher basketball right now.
