In a deep draft like the one yesterday almost every team improved, but in my mind there were a few teams who were clear winners and improved themselves more than the rest. In no particular order: New Orleans Hornets: Drafting a pair of 19-year-olds in all-everything power forward Anthony Davis at No. 1 and then [...]

Sacramento Kings are the team that can conceivably improve the most with the fifth pick in the draft and become a playoff contender in the West as soon as next season. The reason being that DeMarcus Cousins is a franchise type big man who is just an absolute beast.  Put any character concerns to the [...]

The ping pong balls may not bounce your team’s way tonight, but there will be no losers in the NBA lottery because of the stacked draft class that awaits. The prize is Anthony Davis out of Kentucky and the most likely recipient is Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Bobcats, but say the ‘Cats don’t win the lottery [...]

The NCAA Tournament is the biggest stage in college basketball and NBA scouts put a lot of stock in what a prospect does at the biggest moments when the season is on the line against the best competition.  Every year the big dance is responsible for either solidifying a top spot with stellar play or [...]

In the words of Dennis Green, they are what we thought they were.  No. 6 UNC has dropped games at UNLV and at Kentucky but got right in a big way tonight against Texas 82-63 and is still my pick for best team in the country. Super soph Harrison Barnes went off for 26 points [...]

The Cavs might be back on the winning track sooner than later.  In what seemed like a rigged lottery Dan Gilbert scored big getting the #1 and #4 picks. He took 6’3″ 190 PG Kyrie Irving out of Duke with the first pick and 6’9″ 230 PF Tristan Thompson out of Texas at 4.  Irving [...]

Davis made the biggest defensive play of his life UK will remain the No. 1 team in the country after securing a one point victory over super-stacked North Carolina. Freshman Anthony Davis ‘the unibrow’ didn’t have a great game on offense, scoring only seven points but Davis is no regular freshman.  He kept tough on [...]

No. 5 UNC takes on No.1 Kentucky at Rupp Arena in the best game of a young college basketball season that has featured some good ones so far. NBA Scouts should be drooling at the NBA potential on the court for both teams.  For Kentucky, Super Soph Terrance Jones is averaging 15.1 points and 7.6 [...]

The Tar Heels have all the talent and showed it off on Saturday against South Carolina in Vegas with a 87-62 win.  Roy Williams has the best team in the country right now.  I think this team is better than any other UNC squad that Roy Williams has coached including ’05 and ’09.  They have [...]
