Texas should have been #1 to begin with. They won in Lawrence so ranking Kansas ahead of them was silly. Good thing this isn't football where rankings matter.

I mean, you really could have made a fair argument for any of them, and as Dan said it really doesn't matter. Texas is playing the best basketball in the country by far right now but the rankings are meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I love watching Frank Martin coach. Its like watching a reincarnation of Bobby Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with Kansas being bumped up to #1 IMO. Kinda like how when the UConn women lost they fell and Baylor hopped up to #1 even though Baylor lost to UConn earlier in the year.

Difference being that Baylor lost by 1 at UCONN(makes me sad that I know that) where as Texas won at KU. Like I said though, you could have really made a fair argument for any of the top 3 to be number 1 as of yesterday, but it obviously doesn't matter so not sure why I keep discussing it, ha.

Buehrle>Wood Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ohio State has beaten 2 top 25 kenpom teams: @Illinois, and crushing Purdue at home Kansas has beaten 2: Arizona on a neutral court, Missouri at home Texas has beaten 4: Missouri at home, Illinois in New York, North Carolina in NC, and at Kansas Texas also won at Michigan State, which tOSU has a chance to do tonight.

fathom Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 If I had the first pick in the NBA draft, I very well might take Tristan Thompson. He's had an amazing impact on the defense of Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msu is in the 40's though. Florida is not that far off of that list and OSU smoked them on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ones that I'd consider over him are P. Jones, Irving, Sullinger, and Barnes. Of the 5, Thompson has the greatest chance to turn into a superstar, IMO.

Soxbadger Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I cant read lately. And this draft is really weak, a guy like Kanter could get in the top 10. Edited February 15, 2011 by Soxbadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) If I am an NBA team, I am selected Kanter in the top 10. You cant teach his size. And I'm hoping the Bulls can somehow steal Buford later on, he's going to be a good NBA #2 Edited February 15, 2011 by RockRaines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Kanter is definitely going top 10. Perry Jones has a lot higher of an upside than Tristan imo. Thompson is solid but there's definitely guys I'd take above him even in this weak class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I want the Bulls to get Leuer. But thats just mainly being a homer. I really hope Taylor doesnt leave. it would have been unimaginable early in the year, but hes starting to get hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Sadly, the Tubby Smith to GT rumors are starting. Every smart GT fan I know does not want Tubby there, as the Atlanta area AAU and high school coaches do not like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Tristan Thompson is very impressive, but I like his teammate Jordan Hamilton even more. My top 5 at the moment is... 1. Kanter 2. Irving 3. Barnes 4. Hamilton 5. Sullinger Guys like Knight, Thompson, and Terrance Jones are just outside of my top 5. Knight may not be a natural PG, but you can't over look his value as an athlete at the position that can stay with the other freak PG's in the NBA. Jordan Williams at Maryland is my sleeper for the lotto. If he can shed baby weight, he will be a load in the paint. I'm interested to see how these guys measure out at the combines as well. Are Sullinger and Thompson closer to 6'7 or 6'10? Is Kanter a legit 6'10-6'11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Palehose, I'm a big fan of Williams, but his game doesn't translate well to the NBA level right now. Thompson's wing span is insane, which should boost him up the ranks. Also, I thought I heard Kanter might stay another year at Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something has changed, there is no way Kanter isn't in this upcoming draft. He was ruled permanently ineligible so there wouldn't be any reason for him to stay at Kentucky another year.
