2014 NCAA Tournament

[Formerly Snayke]

I still think the talent on this squad is vastly overrated, the only one I see being a major contributor is Randle at the next level, everyone else is likely a role player.

 

Probably so, but they are still elite college talents. Is everyone from that class going to look at Poythress and decide to take off?

Next year we will marvel at Cal's ability to get Trey Lyles and Karl Towns to the title game and declare it his best job ever.

 

Obviously his recruiting is his biggest strength and he was out-coached yesterday, but he did a great job of getting this team together. He did better performances with UMass than UK, when I say he has done his best job yet, I'm speaking of terms in Lexington.

 

This was a different style of play from Feb. till now, blame should go to Cal for how poorly they started though.

I really like Young's game. He's going to take a couple years, but he's going to be more than just a role player IMO.

 

He will need to step up on defense, he's horrible against the pick and roll, I don't see his ceiling much greater than Snell. Slightly better off the dribble.

I'm unsure about the Harrison twins as well as Johnson but it's a lock Young, Randle, and WCS are gone.

 

Unfortunately the 15 draft is likely much weaker.

I was thinking more of a Nick Young type.

A guy that works under me was WCS trainer in high school, still texts with him. He says WCS isn't for sure going pro as he hasn't finished school yet. FWLIW.
