Exactly when I turned it back and watched....UNC choked and Duke nearly matched them with missed ftfriendfromlowry;1706502 wrote:The fuck? I checked TheScore a little bit ago and UNC was up by 7 with like 1:30 to play.
I don't think arguing Towns is that difficult, but I would say it's only those 2 in consideration for #1reclegend22;1706517 wrote:As for the No. 1 pick in this class, I'm clearly biased, but I think it'd be a difficult argument to make for anyone but Jahlil Okafor. The kid is just better than everyone else. He is a beast.
In terms of his offensive skill set, there is not a better big man in college basketball right now. Again, I am biased. Defensively, I agree. He is not as good as he should be in that area considering his physical attributes and enormous potential. He was really pissing me off last night haha.Laley23;1706518 wrote:He is not just better than everyone else, and his defense leaves a lot to be desired as a rim protector.

Ok, well now we are talking only Big Men? That changes the landscape dramatically.reclegend22;1706604 wrote:In terms of his offensive skill set, there is not a better big man in college basketball right now. Again, I am biased.

This is basically how I feel. It's a shame, really, because Duke possesses the most dominant offensive big man in the country and arguably the nation's best backcourt (top two or three at worst). The defense, however, is plagued by instability. It will bring this team down early once again.Ironman92;1706506 wrote:Love Duke's offense but defense in the paint will keep them from getting past sweet 16
Everyone who has watched Duke lose in the first two rounds 3 other times in the last 7 years.reclegend22;1707030 wrote:Who'd have believed a team led by Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood could've lost to fucking Mercer.
