This is a thread probably more suited for the off-season, but I think its kinda interesting how these type of opinions can change game to game and during a season. This is a one year scenario where you toss out your top 10 players in the conference on who you'd draft for your team. What would your Big 12 draft board look like?
Just curious what the feel is for the better college basketball players in the league now that we are closing in on March...
Mine:
1. S. Collins/KU - Has some "what the hell was that" moments, but he's a competitor and a guy I would want with the ball late. Just get the feeling he is going to win. Also, great FT shooter.
2. D. James/UT - Painfully goes here. Tough matchup, extremely versatile.
3. J. Anderson/OSU - The quietest 25/night guy in the country. Rarely do I see a game where I think he has a lot of points...and he usually has over 20. Solid.
4. E. Udoh/BU - Prime example of the importance of a big man at this level. Completely disrupts offenses while also controlling boards. I wouldn't let him shoot outside anymore, but I prefer him over Aldrich because I think has the biggest impact in the league on D. Maybe too high, but I really believe he has been a large reason for the success of the Bears.
5. W. Warren/OU - Overwhelming #1 before the season, but everyone is well aware of the "story". Tough to even figure him here, but I still believe he's the best in the league at going to the bucket and creating contact, which equals scoring in bunches. Still lots of hoops left...
6. C. Brackins/ISU - Maybe too low, but as good as everyone thinks he is...ISU has really done nothing since he's been there. OU lit him up on the whole double team, which would seem alarming. Doesn't strike me as a difference maker on D. I don't think he stikes fear into teams either.
7. C. Aldrich/KU - Not a big Aldrich guy...but lack of skilled big men means he has to be on here. Good rebounder, good shot blocker, good scorer, and crazy looking foul shooter.
8. L. Dunn/BU - Can keep jacking if he'll keep hitting.
9. D. Sloan/TAMU - Carrying a pretty decent A&M squad.
10. J. Pullen/KSU - Easily the toughest slot for me with it coming down to a few guys. I gave the ever so slight nod to Pullen over Ma. Morris.
Close but no cigar: Higgins, Pittman, Henry, Ma. Morris, Tweety, Clemente, TMG, Burks, Singletary
And yours?
