Best Player in College Basketball?

So...who's going number 1?


I've seen mock drafts....but its so inaccurate right now...because they dont know who's going to pick when...and they havent figured in what every team needs......


One major notable that stuck out...

UCONN had 5 players projected to be picked....


Personally I think J.J. Reddick is the best, most complete player in the college game right now...he is the eptiome of why players should stay in college and develope a complete game..... He always could shoot 3's and free throws...but was often critized as not being able to create shots for himself...but he has worked on that and is pretty much unstoppable if you watch him this year.....Plus he plays on the best team in the nation....which always helps your case..

Best AND most complete..? I wouldn't go THAT far Homez...I would say tho, he's the nicest, most attractive player...That fucking trigger he has is lethal as all hell...

But, I haven't seen a single game of NCAA basketball this year, I usually don't start watching till the end of this month, early next month...I'll be back to this tho...

All I see in JJ is a shooter in the NBA. To me he might be a poor mans Wally Szerbiack(sp?)

Im hoping Dee Brown develops a jumpshot and that dude will be killer in the NBA someday

I really haven't been following college basketball too much this year. I just haven't gotten into it like I have in the past. I'll have to do some research to catch up...

Who saw the Duke v G-Town game......in a losing effort J.J. Reddick kept it close the whole game hitting big shot after big shot....he ended with 41 points...the only reason they lost was because their freshman guard Paulis tried to do it all himself...probably a habbit from his highschool days..and turned it over twice in crucial points in the end of the game... it crushed any other doubt in my mind that this guy isn't just a nice shooter....he's a ballplayer

Nobody isn't saying he isn't nice...My issue came w/that whole "best, most complete player" bit you threw out there...Complete players have outstanding defense...The Kobe's, Mike's...AI's, KG's, etc...The kid is still streaky, but with flawless mechanics like he has, he could develop into a weapon...He's just not...Hmm...Naturally athletic, which may hinder him some I think...But he is that deal...

no..we havent.....He plays against subpar compeition...which is why in the equation of who will win Player of the Year....Reddick is ahead by a mile......can anyone even name me 3 teams in the WAC conferance without looking them up....or having a great knowledge of the conferances?


Reddick is streaky? The guy who hit like 70 straight freethrows as a freshmen is streaky?


by not "naturally atheletic" you mean hes not.......black?

well it's not Morrison's fault as to what competition he plays... and when he has played good teams he had monster games...
