I know, but banking on Brandon Wright, Wayne Ellington, and Tywon Lawson is risky. I think they will do perfect, but their ranking is based on these prospects doing great.
sorry, mean tlive up to their hype...as do most freshmen now. after playing aau ball during the summer the comopetition level isnt really that different for them.
It's going to be interesting to see how this team, and the coaches, handle being a frontrunner. Gone are the days of being an underdog and "us against the world" attitude. First big test will be 12/5 against A&M, ranked #13. A nice rematch of our exciting tourney game.
If Greg Oden would have entered the last draft he would have been the top high school player drafted and they shoot lights out from the 3 point line. Coming of 2 very good years and the addition of great prospects makes them a solid #4, IMO.
Greg Oden could have been a Top 3 NBA pick as a sophmore in HS. He's had just as much hype as LeBron James had coming out of high school. It'll be interesting to see how he plays coming off his injury.
