Uh....are y'all watching Marcus Smart on ESPN?

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Depends on whether he's actually 6'4" in shoes or not, it seems like there are less and less big shooting guards (6'6"+) coming out lately, Oladipo, McLemore, Waiters and Beal are all 6'4" in shoes.

Everybody wants the next D-Wade.

These nikkas are as tall as me! I would have never thought that I'd be anything more than pg height at the NBA level

OK State probably the best team in College Basketball, glad we don't have to face em...

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

He still would if went pro what if he gets hurt that's always a chance see what happend to Noel. Barring that injury I think he was hands down a top 2 pick.

yea, the injury thing is a risk.

smart was a top 2 pick at one point last year too. Orlando would've taken him over oladipo. now he'll be lucky to go top 5 in the next draft despite the improvement. but barring injury, its gonna work out for the best in the long run. im glad he came back.

Memphis ranked way too high, if they should be ranked at all.

Memphis has the talent to be ranked higher actually.

Yep.....every year for 9 straight years a different team is gonna win the Big 12 and son Kansas.

Still waiting.

im not apart of all that. I like Kansas actually.

im just talking about this year. and like I said, Kansas is gonna go further in the big dance anyway.

I don't know man.

on paper, okie state can go toe-to-toe with any team.


plus, theyre a veteran squad now.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

Orlando prolly gonna still take this dude right? Cause I know they don't think that idea they got for Oladipo to play point is wise.

 

[Poitier]

For people overrating Oklahoma St, you do realize they lost to the defensively challenged Oregon last year and have even less depth this year?

Orlando should pair Oladipo with a big PG like Exum but Smart has nice size too

yea, i wouldn't be surprised if smart ends up in Orlando anyway.

 

[livindajetlife]

Dude takin' me so serious "R U white ?"

noone got your lame 'joke' just move on and take that L whiteboy

 

[rantanamo]

Dude was ranked high coming out of high school, but for some reason people underrated him. He has always had a bulldog mentality. Won 3 state titles off of sheer defensive excellence. He's always been underrated as an athlete because he always lacked finesse, but dude can be explosive as hell and always had the GOAT intangibles. If he had really gained a shot, then look out, because his mentals are straight. Could be unstoppable if dude have to come out and guard him with his strength to the basket.

Parker, Randle, Smart are looking like picks #1, #2 and #3 in this year's draft.

Wrong Exum and Wiggins are definitely going before Smart. Emblid, Noah Vonleh and Aaron Gordon are in the mix too.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

speaking of aaron Gordon, why is nobody talking about Arizona?

I had them as one of my early final four picks last spring.

it was Kentucky, duke, Kansas and Arizona.

 

[Poitier]

Arizona has the best frontcourt in America but them nikkas have absolutely no guards that can score on the perimeter consistently.

Kansas, Mich St, Louisville and Kentucky seem to be the top 4. Not convinced Duke can get away with Hood and Parker as their 4 and 5 men defensively.

yea, those were my predictions 8 months ago.

now that we get to see what the rosters are looking like, I have mich st, Louisville & maybe okie state ahead of Arizona.

 

[Poitier]

Louisville should low-key be favored to repeat. Crazy depth at guard (Russ Smith, Rozier, Jones, Ware) and a good, athletic frountcourt (Hancock, Blackshear, Behanan, Harrell, Treese )
