An equally talked about topic in addition to “hidden gems” and “top picks”, is the discussion of “potential buts”. In honesty, any pick could be a bust depending on several factors, but I will focus on three that stand out in my opinion as the riskier of picks.


Shabazz Muhammad- The once #1 ranked player in the country is... Read More

Going into last season, the theme in Chapel Hill, NC was “transition.” The Tar Heels were set to start their slate of games without point guard Kendall Marshall (ACC assists leader in 2010 and 2011), small forward Harrison Barnes (UNC’s leading scorer in 2011), power forward John Henson (ACC blocked shots leader in 2010 and 2011), and center Tyler... Read More

Nerlens Noel

Good: Noel has the length to match his 6'10”/6'11” height a tremendous impact on defense. His leaping ability and how he runs the floor are a great asset in the middle. He has good hands that help him be efficient at the rim, and at rebounding (averaged 3.4 offensive, 10.5 defensive rebounds per 40 minutes). Noel is good... Read More

5. Marshall Henderson, Ole Miss, Guard

Henderson is a prolific scorer and arguably the best shooter in the country. The Rebels’ chances of making the NCAA tournament for a second year in a row got better when Henderson announced he’s returning for his senior year. There is a lot of new talent in the SEC this year, but Henderson makes... Read More

It was a rough year for hoops in Tallahassee. A year after going 25-10, with a trip to the Sweet 16, the Florida State Seminoles regressed. In the 2012-2013 season, the ‘Noles went 18-16, with a 9-9 record in ACC play. None of their wins came against ranked opponents. Although they made the postseason for the eighth consecutive time, they were... Read More

LSU Tigers (9th rated recruiting class according to ESPN)

Johnny Jones landed his best recruit as a head coach with the LSU Tigers in his second year in Baton Rouge, landing 5-star prospect Jarrell Martin (11th rated prospect in ESPN 100). Martin was the star at Madison Prep Academy, despite only playing two years of organized high... Read More

Anthony Bennett of UNLV and Alex Len of Maryland are the latest big names to need surgery. Bennett needs rotator cuff surgery. Len needs Ankle Surgery. Along with Nerlens Noel, they will miss all of the NBA Pre-Draft workouts and the summer league which helps develop rookies. Bennett is not expected to fall in the draft. However, he is a... Read More

The final round before the NBA Finals is here and if you saw San Antonio destroy the Memphis Grizzlies 105 to 83 imagine what is in store for the Indiana Pacers as they faceoff tonight against the reigning NBA champions the Miami Heat. Picking who is going to win this round is not the difficult part at all as we can say whole heatedly from our... Read More

The NBA Draft is next month and everywhere you look there are mock drafts popping up and being updated. Here is my mock draft for the Top 10, based on what I believe each team needs. (Note the order is how it looks before the May 21st lottery)

1)Orlando- Nerlens Noel- This one is pretty easy to pick. Noel may be rehabbing a torn ACL,... Read More

Many colleges recruited Andrew Wiggins but only four remain on his list. Wiggins, the number one prospect in the nation, will pick between North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas, and Florida State.

Here are my thoughts on his four choices.

1. North Carolina- Wiggins is a versatile player who could come in and fill the void left... Read More
