Jabari and Wiggins will end up being good pros, definitely Wiggins ... but will Wiggins EVER be a superstar? I don't think he can be. He played like a bizarro Russell Westbrook in a game where no one else had 1/100th of his talent.
That tells me he has no heart. Will he be good on a 30 win NBA team? Absolutely. Will he be the best player on a contender? I highly doubt it. Not with the lack of heart I saw him have last year. But alas, maybe he can develop that killer instinct. He certainly has all the talent in the world and he also hasn't even grown into a full adult yet. So we'll see. |

That's what the top 3 picks in the NBA draft...all one and done kids...did in the tournament COMBINED. It's the very definition of mailing it in. |

The tournament is a crapshoot, so the fact that they beat some teams who are currently still playing doesn't necessarily mean that those teams were really good. It just means they got hot at the right time, kinda like UK did last year. And I'm not saying that this UK team is bad. It's not. They're really good. But their record is a result of having a relatively weak schedule. They'd have a few more losses if they played in a different conference or scheduled a few tougher non-con opponents. Now, UT and KU were supposed to be good opponents, but clearly weren't. UNC, at the time they played, hadn't really found their rhythm as a team, either. What I'm getting at is that the UK team hasn't had to face adversity yet. We'll see how they respond when they do. But the reason they're undefeated isn't because they're the greatest team in college basketball in 40 years. |

And KU/Duke going out in the 2nd/1st round in 2014 had less to do with Wiggins/Parker than those teams simply not being all that good. |
So UNC wasn't a good win because they weren't playing great at the time, but Texas who was ranked #6 in the country when they played wasn't a good win either.
I think I see how this works. Kentucky is 14-0 against teams that made the tournament including a 32 point win against a 2 seed and a 39 point win over a team that's still alive, but they haven't played anyone. There are 15 other teams still alive. Kentucky is 3-0 against them with an average margin of over 20 points per game...but they only win because of weak competition. |

http://espn.go.com/nba/draft2014/sto...rior-nba-draft The dude faked a back injury and sat out. Do you not remember Self's sarcastic comments about it earlier that season? |

I watched the game. I expect "THE BEST PROSPECT SINCE LEBRON JAMES" to play a ****ing GOOD GAME in the tourney ... or, at the very least, PLAY A SHITTY GAME WHILE AT LEAST BEING AGGRESSIVE. Dude played the least aggressive, heartless game I've ever seen (other than Jabari Parker). It was embarrassing. And I grew up being a Jayhawks fan. I'm still a Jayhawks fan when I watch. Hell, Collison (free throws) single-handedly lost us a championship against Syracuse in 2003 BUT AT LEAST COLLISON ****ING TRIED AND SHOWED SOME HEART... Wiggins didn't give a single ****. It was embarrassing. |
By basically any metric, the best team UK has played all season was KU (a flawed/soft team that did not have the style to beat them). I think they're the best team by far, but let's wait and see what happens when they run into a Wisconsin/Arizona/Duke/Gonzaga/Utah/Notre Dame.

Kemba Walker basically won a championship by himself one year ... he played with a chip on his shoulder and basically refused to lose.
It's too bad Andrew "MOST TALENT IN THE GYM BY FAR" decided to take a pivotal March Madness game off last year. Do you really watch Wiggins in the NBA and swell with pride because he's a "Jayhawk?" These one and doners aren't anything. Andrew Wiggins is not a Jayhawk. Paul Pierce is a Jayhawk. Kirk Hinrich is a Jayhawk. Joel Embiid is not a Jayhawk. |
