College Basketball: 2014-15

[Split T]

UA just doesn't have enough shooters

[carey]

My guy Poythress is out for the rest of the year with a torn ACL suffered in practice.

[TOO]

Other guys get all the publicity, but Willie Cauley Stein is my favorite big this year so far, by quite a bit.

[carey]

UA about to get upset on the road at UNLV. Down 1 with 14 seconds left...

[Mori Chu]

Dang UNLV. Kind of exposed all the Cats' flaws in that game. Made them look average.

[In2ition]

Didn't ASU beat UNLV convincingly not too long ago?

[wpmiller42]

I wouldn't sleep on UNLV this year. I think they can win the Mountain West this year if some of their young guys can mature a little. They would have beat Arizona by like 12 if they hadn't taken some dumb shots and had some really dumb turnovers. But I really like Vaughn and Okonoboh, and Wood seems like he can be a Channing Frye type of guy.

The only thing holding UNLV back is a experience.

Any thoughts on Montrezl Harrell?

Undersized big motor guys like this could be a Manimal or a Bo Outlaw in the end. You will always get something in return, but there is always a risk of a low ceiling

I'm a fan. He's the type of player we need. It would be great if he could moonlight as a 5, but I'd draft him happily.

[Danimal]

What draft range could you see us taking him Shabazz?

[carey]

What draft range could you see us taking him Shabazz?

I think most of us had him as a lottery pick if he came out last year. There were many bummed posters when he announced he was going back to school. He's a legit beast and i don't think he makes it to 14. Maybe if we wind up getting the Lakers pick?

[Shabazz]

What draft range could you see us taking him Shabazz?

I could see him lasting to our pick (assuming we're in the 13/14 range). The draft seems very deep with bigs.

I'm a fan as well. I like the fairaid comparison. I was suprised he went back last yr, but agreed in the fact that he probably is in the mid 1st-to late lotto range rt now.

[INFORMER]

Robert Upshaw has been dismissed from Washington:

Upshaw, who transferred to UW from Fresno State, has failed multiple drug tests while at both schools, sources close to the situation told ESPN.

The ultra-talented big man averaged 10.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.4 blocks per game for the Huskies and leads the nation in blocks.

I was shocked when I heard this. He was really starting to play well, and I was really started to get interested in him as a prospect. Hopefully he gets himself together because he has NBA talent.

[Mori Chu]

Hmm. Wonder if "drug tests" means marijuana or something harder. Hope he gets his act together.

I think his offensive upside is much higher than Faried, more Paul Milsap imo.

[Split T]

He's got decent size, he's short but has really long arms. He's got more skill than Faried, I'm interested to see how he does in the NBA. I like him, not sure I'd draft him with markieff on the team. I think there would be similarly rated players that would offer us a better fit. If kieff weren't here I'd think he'd fit pretty well next to Len. He is a better athlete and rebounder than kieff.

INFs boy Jerian Grant is having a whale of a game versus Duke.

[INFORMER]

Speaking of Duke, they have given Rasheed Sulaimon the boot:

"Rasheed has been unable to consistently live up to the standards required to be a member of our program," coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a release. "It is a privilege to represent Duke University and with that privilege comes the responsibility to conduct oneself in a certain manner. After Rasheed repeatedly struggled to meet the necessary obligations, it became apparent that it was time to dismiss him from the program."

[Sunsfan4life]

1st player to be dismissed under Coach K I think. Pretty shocking....Had nothing to do with academics.
