Ya, he isn't going to make it in the pros he isn't athletic enough to play D. He even got destroyed in college in the PnR. He can shoot though what gives him a chance to possibly hang around but he isnt going to make it. Great and I mean great college player.
We can't watch Cunningham any more in college, so our top 3 pick scouting is now limited to Mobley and Suggs. Our local kid was rather unimpressive again with poor shooting and more TOs than assists. He's been terrific every time I've watched him this season, so his first two tournament games have been a big disappointment. Hopefully he shows a little more the rest of the way.
Kansas seemed more concerned with Mobley than giving up open threes, so normally average shooting USC took advantage and made 11 out of 18 threes. With the outside shot so available, Mobley was held to six shots. He still finished with an impressive line...10 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and only 1 foul...plus several altered shots. The more the Collins dream fades, the more I get excited about a possible Mobley/KAT front court duo. Either he or Cunningham would be terrific additions to this roster.

I was just thinking how 3 of the Michigan fab 5 are looking to have long lasting contributions to sports long after their playing days are over.
I watched most of the first 2 games today. The winners put on a clinic. I didn't think Creighton played bad Gonzaga is just that good. I'm debating whether to watch more games tonight...I have to go through the computer for those.

Yep, he was terrific yesterday. His numbers have been only average to this point in the tournament, but he looked great in this one. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do under the very bright lights of the Final Four. Mobley on the other hand was only average yesterday after being dominant in the earlier games...never knew he was such an accomplished passer in addition to being an effective rim protector. If we are lucky enough to get the third pick, I would have no problem at all with whoever is left over from these two guys and Cunningham...three great talents! Of course getting the first pick again would be the home run as we could actually choose which one of the three best fits our needs.

I'd be happy with any of those top three, but much happier with Cunningham or Suggs in that order. I wouldn't decide among the three of them based on need because I don't see the three as equal. I still see Cunningham as the best of the three and the one with the best chance of guy of becoming a franchise player. His combination of size, skill and basketball IQ is special. Suggs isn't too far behind Cunningham in my view. The more I watch Suggs the more I like him. He's a terrific passer as well as a superb, tenacious defender. His 3-point shooting is his only weakness, but it wasn't terrible. Otherwise, he shot nearly 50% from the field overall. He's also really athletic. If the Rosas factors in need, then Suggs really fits the bill with his defense. I'd love to see a Wolves backcourt of Suggs and Edwards with McDaniels at the 3. Then maybe Rosas can fulfill my fantasy by swapping DLO for Collins in a sign-and-trade deal. Suggs, Ant, McDaniels, Collins and KAT would be an interesting starting lineup. It would be young, but our defense would be so much better with Suggs, McDaniels and Collins. If Ant could give consistent effort on the defensive end, that starting lineup could be elite defensively.
