Top 50 seniors 2012-2013
No offense man but Jordan hulls is really just a shooter. That's about it.. And now with yogi there I think he will play off ball even more and focus on his shooting. An amazing shooter for sure but he doesn't distribute as much as a pg should even though I do think he's a good passer. He's not very big or athletic and he's definitely not quick enough defensively for a lot of the quicker guards. He's even worse defensively if he's playing the two.
This is coming from a lifelong IU fan btw. I love the guy but with all the talent coming in he looks like a 12 and 3 guy.
Why hasn't anybody thought of it for fun? U know like drafting players and making teams with college bball players, that would be so fun, but i think there would be some issues with the NCAA not sure what though... But wouldnt that be pretty fun
that assessment of Jordan Hulls was right on. Hulls is a great 3 pt shooter and distributes from the perimeter, but he has little ability to get into the paint. I definitely think 12 and 3 is reasonable numbers for him. Also, I guarantee you when you look back on this season you Cash Wright and Carl Jones going to end up being good enough to make top 50 seniors.
Oriakhi has been a disappointment in my eyes so far. As a freshman he looked like he had the frame to be the next Okafor but his progression has been much slower. To be fair he won a national title but was never close to the impact of Okafor or most UConn big men.
Seriously, Carmichael plays like Nicholson. No way. Nicholson is a great shooter for a big man and will be used as a stretch 4 guy in the league and will also post up occassionally. Carmichael can't shoot half as good as Nicholson from deep or mid range. I just have no clue where you got that comparison they play nothing alike.

Carmichael got the stroke he just only shoots game winning threes
Did you watch the video you posted? He catches the ball off a hail mary pass and hoists it immediately with 1 second left. And his shot is ugly. Goes in off the backboard, though.
But it certainly doesn't display his shooting "touch" like you said.
Not sure I agree with you about him being a "Nicholson clone", either. And its odd you used a video of Carmichael hitting an ugly 3PFG to prove your point. He only attempted 4 3PFG's all season, and only 7 3PFG attempts in his 3 years in college. In comparison, Nicholson made 53 3PFG attempts as a senior, nearly 2 per game.
Nicholson made 6 3's his first 3 years, I guess he did improve his shooting in his final year a lot but Carmichael shoots well from the mid range and I think he will shoot the ball from 18-20 fine in the NBA. And anyway no two players are exactly alike, they probably were a little more alike a year ago but I dont think Nicholson is that much better of a shooter as some people think he is. Derrick Williams shot well over 50% from three in college and it did not translate to the pros exactly.
Top 50 Seniors 2012-2013
This list started with 81 guys and was the hardest list I have ever made. There were a lot of great players that I planned on having included when I decided on the topic, but didn’t make it.
People are saying that college basketball is down this year but that is false. It might not have the star power but there is a lot of parity and this list shows 50 great veterans who will make this season very exciting. I honestly think you could make a case for every one of these guys to be in the top 10.
