Marcus smart filling in admirably for IT today

these two games should give IT some MVP 4th place votes

Smarts gotta play his game. Run the point as a passer, but stop shooting so much lol.

Spot up 3s and Post ups is what he should be doing

[buzzy]

You can realistically cut preseason games and start the playoffs later to at least get rid of back to backs altogether

you do realize there are a lot less possessions in college basketball, right?

Minimum # of college possessions -- 80
Minimum # of NBA possessions -- 120

It's a slower game -- doesn't mean it's anywhere near bad. Teams focus more on defense and ran sets over the "iso chucking offense" we see by so many NBA teams

C'mon man, the games have significantly less scoring because college kids aren't nearly as good as the pros. The reason it seems like they "focus" on defense is because the kids on offense aren't good enough to make shots not because they're trying harder or anything

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And there's also defense being played before the last 6 minutes

The college game is called TERRIBLY. Whether that is a mix of worse players, or officials doing too much, I'm not sure, but there are way too many fouls called. It slows the game down considerably.

This is one of the issues I have with CBB. I don't watch nearly as much college as I used to, and watching the tournament this weekend has reminded how overly-involved the refs are.

I was mad disappointed to how Jonathan Isaac played this tournament. Dude was hyped as a "half-tier lower than Ingram" prospect and I don't think he's even close to that
 
Fultz and Ball should go 1/2, Jackson and Tatum should go 3/4. After that, its a pretty sizable drop imo. DSJ is similar to Dunn (who's uneventful NBA career will drop Smith's value a little) in rank, Monk is a shooter and will be limited in the NBA, Isaac is Chriss-esque in that he's all potential, Markannen is just Olynyk, Fox can't shoot
 
Glad Boston's getting Top 4 confirmed. Like obviously I want Markelle the most, but I wouldn't be all that upset if we were "forced" to draft Tatum
