Barkley was a bad defender who never won a title and admits it. Congrats kid, I think that's the deepest baloney I've ever read here.

Ah, my b. Didn't realize you were talking about Barkley, thought you were going in on Zion...which is why my response started with "...Zion is" ;-)

I'm only turning 30 in april, so Charles' early days & prime were before my time and so I can't speak to his game...but Zion's defensive potential has me excited, both as a weakside shotblocker & as a perimeter guy. Kid is just so freaky & talented; his handle, playmaking & finesse around the rim would be impressive even if he jumped like a 32 yo Larry Johnson, nevermind having those skills while being able to float like Vince at 272 & serious defensive potential.

If Little weren't such an advanced shooter & tenacious defender with his length & ahtleticism; Reddish weren't so absurdly talented that he genuinely evokes TMac when focused in; Barrett didn't have that nasty old-man-game like Harden did; it would be hard not to get too enamored with Zion. Thankfully, the entire top 4 in this class is amazing.

If Duke played the Fab Five 100 times over a two year period, Duke would lose 100 times.

It's one thing to misspell a player's name on his jersey. It's another thing when the player in question HAPPENS TO BE THE HEAD COACH'S SON.

The AP Top 25 Poll

Villanova falls out after being 8th last week

 

[awfulwaffle]

Interesting that UofA didn't get any votes? ASU taking on #15 currently.

Dort is only a freshman? He's built like a machine. He plays with no fear, I like this kid a lot.

ASU takes out Mississippi State. Take on Utah State on Wednesday night. Looking to be ranked next week.

 

[Club]

Lets go Auburn!

Duke getting smacked around

 

[Avs_19]

It turns out Gonzaga is also really good. Rui is another impressive prospect in this year's draft.

I'm not sure what Duke was doing down the stretch. Barrett's great but that was some bad hero ball. They didn't run any plays or try to get Zion involved.

If I'm coach K this isn't the worst thing that could have happened. The team was getting too much hype for their own good and this should get their heads back down to earth.

Kings are fun to watch.

Was thrilled at the time, but so glad Fox dropped to 4.

I wish I could make a connection to Fox with Kentucky, but that would be an extreme reach.

I'll show myself out.

Asu looking to win Vegas again. They look good. Less dependent on the 3 compared to last year, will help them in conference fornsure.

 

[awfulwaffle]

Asu top 25 bound. They look better than last year.

Out of all teams why Gonzaga geez
