Craft is much better defensively, a better shooter, and only slightly behind in the passing dept. Probably gonna let Rivers and Teague play some games before I evaluate them. Taylor is the best in the country. Haven't watched much of Jackson or McCallum, but they both seem to be very good. I'm fine w/ saying Craft is top 10, cause it's all matter of opinion really.
As for Rivers and Teague, you are probably right in letting them play first. But Im jumping the gun with the trend college ball has taken. They will probably live up to what their ranking was.
Jackson is a stud for Memphis, did you see his pass earlier today versus Belmont? Im sure it will be in the highlights.
McCallum, I got to watch in HS. Very underrated player (though I think he ended up around like 35 nationally in HS). His argument against him is the quality of opponent. It can never really be argued one way or the other because of this. Holloway is the same way, but he has shown it in the big time games before for a few years, and the A-10 is respected.
Marshall being on a loaded team helps him as a pass first guy. But dont forget that UNC really took off, and those studs offensively finally gelled as a team when he took over the roll. He is very good, and on any team in the country makes the offense run a lot smoother. You can argue the type of player that is the best, and maybe a scorer is more important to you, but he gets results with his style and is by far the best PG in the land at it.
