^^ Always surprised me how few talk there is about Jabari's defense, he'll be a liability in the NBA if he doesn't change in that regard. Right now I don't see why he should be picked over Wiggins and Exum.
Duke has failed 2 out of last 3 when they were looking to freshmen and sophomores to lead them in the tourney. UK managed to do it a couple of years ago but that team was DEEP. No depth/leadership = failure. Sucks...I picked them to win it all assuming/hoping Parker turned it on Melo style. So much for that!
Not really. Kansas loves choking in the tournament, and without Embiid they're just a solid team. Definitely not a 2 seed, at least.
