Top 10 NBA Draft Prospects to Watch: East Regional
Sporting News Arguably the most top-heavy region for NBA prospects, the East region, simply by virtue of containing Duke, is chock full of players that will play at the next level. The East has more than Duke's fantastic freshman, however. This edition will evaluate the ten college hoopers fans and scouts alike should focus on when action tips on Thursday. Just Missed the Cut: Aric Holman - Mississippi State; Jordan Nwora - Louisville Despite not making the Top-10, Nwora and

NBA Draft Prospects Shooting up Boards After March Madness
The NBA Draft is still 78 days away, but after the NCAA Tournament concluded Monday night with Villanova’s second title in 3 years, it’s time to take a look at what prospects helped themselves out the most during March Madness. Jalen Brunson, PG, Villanova Why not start with the Champs? Donte DiVincenzo was the star during Villanova’s rout of Michigan in Monday night’s Championship Game, but Brunson was the catalyst for Jay Wright’s squad throughout the tournament. The AP Pla

The NCAA Tourney, Part Three: In Search of a Glue Guy
This has been a disappointing March for NBA fans hoping to get one last good look at the top prospects before the draft. Not one player that I’ve written about so far made it to the Final Four. Most of them didn’t even make the Sweet Sixteen. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t destined to be winners in the NBA; it’s more of a testament to how different the professional game is from college. Talent reigns supreme in the NBA. College depends more on system and coaching especial

The NCAA Tourney, Part Two: In Search of a Floor General
Let’s face it. Despite all of the uber-talented big men in the tournament, March Madness has always been driven by guard play. As we saw in the first weekend of the tournament, the impact of even the best big men can be neutralized with zone defenses and foul trouble. There’s nothing more fun than watching a ball dominant guard catch fire and drag his team to the Sweet Sixteen. These guys thrive on performing on the biggest stage of their careers. An electric performance can

The NCAA Tourney: In Search of the Next Unicorn
Wow, what a weekend. I could write 10,000 words on what transpired in the first weekend of the NCAA tournament: from Loyola Chicago shocking the world to UMBC shocking the universe. Alas, this is an NBA website so I’m going to break down the implications of the tournament’s first weekend on the draft. But this was easily the most fun this Suns fan has had watching basketball all year. The top of last year’s draft was dominated by point guards. This year is a different story a

2018 NBA Draft Prospects With Most to Gain in NCAA Tournament
Killian Tillie, PF, Gonzaga Tillie struggled to get minutes in his freshman season due to the presence of the all-time Division 1 wins leader Przemek Karnowski and 2017 top 10 draft pick Zach Collins. However, he burst onto the scene in the national championship game as Collins sat with foul trouble and recorded nine rebounds in a loss to North Carolina. The French import carried over that momentum to his sophomore campaign where he was one of the most improved players in the

Risers and Fallers Heading to the Sweet Sixteen
To say March has been madness to this point would be an understatement. Many key upsets in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament have been leaving spirits and brackets in the dirt. We saw a pair of two seeds go down in Duke and Louisville and the number one overall seed in the tournament in Villanova take a loss to Wisconsin all in the round of 32. Where only 18 brackets survived and correctly selected the sweet sixteen, the madness is sure to continue. As for the NBA d

Leaders of the New School
In 1992, I was a lanky fifth grader living a pretty mundane existence in Midland, Texas and playing YMCA basketball. What’s crazy is that in the 25 years since, I still remember two things about playing ball that season. First, my team was comprised almost exclusively of guys from my neighborhood. Even though we were all on the same team, we did not all get to play together for most of the game because back then, as is the case now, the YMCA had strict substitution patterns t

March Madness vs. the NBA Playoffs
It is one of the most exciting times of the year. The NCAA tournament round of 64 gets underway officially on Thursday. If you are a basketball fan this is definitely the best couple weeks of basketball in the whole year. There are definitely fans out there that would argue that the NBA playoffs are more exciting. So let's take a look at the two events and really compare them. First of all, the talent level of basketball is completely different. The NBA holds the greatest tal

Madness, Pools and Bracketology
*Photo via USA Today Can you feel it? The excitement, the buzzer beaters, the upsets, the thrill of victory, and the tears and agony of defeat from college basketball teams, fans and everybody else's in the United States. Like Dick Vitale would say, its March Madness baby!!! March is the best time of the year and probably the most electrifying sporting event. What makes this the marquee event is not just the games but it's the brackets. Everyone and their moms, including the

NBA March Madness in July
The Dog Days of the NBA offseason are upon us and fans must now progress through the 7 stages of grief at their own pace. I’m currently in the “Bargaining” phase as I try to find a way around paying $200 for League Pass this upcoming season. It’s understandable if you found yourself in “Depression” immediately following the NBA Players Association Awards (hopefully the first and last annual award show of its kind). Wherever you are in your grieving, one thing is certain: NBA
