Is adding No.2 pick Jabari Parker enough to make the Milwaukee Bucks a playoff team? Milwaukee was just as bad as Philadelphia last year, and they didn’t even suffer a historic losing streak. Whether or not new head coach Jason Kidd can bring this team together and form a playoff squad remains to be seen, but seeing as the Eastern...
In the spirit of the NBA draft, I will be doing a bit of venting on the subject of college basketball players declaring after just one year out of college.
Whether the NCAA would like to admit it or not, it has a major issue to address. The theme of “one-and-done” college basketball players is not something that the NCAA should be...
It’s NCAA Tournament time, and everyone is trying to fill out their brackets and predict who will fit the glass slipper this year. There are a few teams that could make a deep run, but it is those pesky teams that take out the high seeds early and ruin your “Billion Dollar Bracket.”
Bold Prediction #1: Baylor will...
As we near the peak of the madness this March, individual honors are getting ready to be handed out to the best of the best in the country. Here we countdown the top 10 players who had the biggest impact on not only their teams this season, but on the whole nation.

The last time Duke took on the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, then Blue Devil Austin Rivers shocked the Dean Smith Center crowd with a cold blooded three-pointer to give Duke a one point win. Needless to say, that shot was on everyone’s mind Thursday night, and the expression on the UNC fans’ faces were much different this...
The 2014 NBA Draft has been heralded as one of the best classes in recent history. This year could produce a large number of All-Star caliber players, several of whom have program changing talent. Now when I say program changing, I mean a player that can be the piece to take the teams we see in the bottom of the standings into...
The ACC is loaded with talent this year. They have one of the few unbeatens left in the country, a projected lottery pick, and depth that college basketball needs to succeed. With Syracuse and Duke being two of the biggest contenders, there is a chance that the final four sees two teams coming out of this conference...
The 2014 NBA Draft is slowly approaching and many of the top prospects still have time to prove themselves capable of playing on the next level. However, it's never too early for mock drafts! In this latest mock draft, a new name takes the throne for the number one overall pick, and a popular name falls out of the top two.
Note:...
Michael Jordan stated Friday that "in no way would the Bobcats tank the season." He finished by claiming that "there are no guarantees in any draft pick." Seems to be strong words about a team that has only appeared in the playoffs once since the beginning of the franchise.
Many teams have made moves indicating they are looking...
Marcus Smart
Position: PG Year: Sophomore College: Oklahoma State
While I thought Marcus Smart made a bad decision in staying at Oklahoma State, his draft stock is still high for 2014. Smart was a potential top-5 pick in this past draft, where Orlando was very intrigued in using their second pick on him. Smart was one of the best...
