Spring Season

Spring is upon us, and summer is nearing right around the corner.  Although the college basketball season is over for 2010-2011, there have been many important decisions made over the course of the spring.  Many players made the decision to leave college early to enter the NBA draft, such as Kemba Walker from UConn and Brandon Knight from Kentucky.  Kyrie Irving decided to leave Duke after his freshman season and is projected by many people to be the number one pick in the draft this summer.  Another player would include Derrick Williams who left Arizona after his sophomore season and is most likely going to be a top 3 selection in the draft.  Many high school players have also made their decisions this spring as to what college they will be attending in the next few years.  North Carolina signed two juniors this spring who will be playing for them starting in 2012.  Point guard Marcus Paige out of Linn-Mar High school is headed to Chapel Hill and he is the #21 ranked player in the class of 2012 according to ESPN.  The Tar Heels also signed wing player J.P. Tokoto, who is the #31 ranked player, and should be an excellent addition to the team.  Although the season is over, spring may just be the most important time of the year concerning college basketball.

    I agree with everything you've said but I think you are forgetting about one player, he may be a dark horse but I love what he brings to the table. That player is Taylor Coppenrath formally of UVM. He has been playing in Europe for the past few years but in my opinion he is ready to make it in the NBA. Keep an eye on him, because people have been comparing him to Dirk Nowitzki. Bossman

    I've heard comparisons to michael redd. that sweet lefty jumper, dead eye shooting, and lock down "d". Watch for him to go mid to late first round
