    I’m gonna be keeping a close eye on Mitch McGary, Marcus Smart and Andreian Payne this season.

    Does McGary prove his run last season wasn’t a fluke?

    Does Payne move up the draft from late to mid-first rounder?

    Can Smart mantain his place in the top 5 best prospect in the upcoming draft?

      Im hearing McGary might not be back until December..

      The best is yet to come with Payne, he has made great strides from his freshman year…But he doesnt play hard all the time…That could be due to the fact he has small lungs for a person his size..Coach Izzo limited his minutes during his freshman & sophomore yrs becuz of it..But he seems to be dealing with pretty well..

      He can score in a variety of ways,rebound,has range out to the 3 point line,great finisher,can play & roll and has defensive potential…

    I absolutely love college basketball and this year should be one of the best.  Next Tuesday pits 4 of the top 5 teams agaianst each other (Ken vs. MSU and Duke vs. KU).  Talk about starting the season off with a bang.

    As with every year my main interest is how the Cuse will do.  Go Orange!!!

    Memphis will be playing an exhibition game against Christian Brothers.  Top shelf freshman Austin Nichols might get the start at power forward.

    I hope these games are on TV.  I can’t wait to see these guys.  This is a hugely anticipated college basketball season from top to bottom.

    James McAdoo is a guy who could either move up in the draft (back into the top 10) or fall completely off the map.  In a deep draft he could be a second rounder since we still don’t know what skillset he could bring to the NBA.
