Random Thoughts For The New Year

- Right now Kevin Durant is the best player in the NCAA right now and yes he is a freshman, reminds me of Syracuse when Carmelo was there for that one season. No one is saying this but Durant could be the #1 overall pick in the draft.

- Jared Dudley should be a first round pick in June but will slip due to the depth of this draft. He has carried a mediocre BC team on his back until he got injured.

- Sean Williams WILL be a first round pick in June. He added muscle and more offensive moves in the offseason. Had a triple double last night, and changes players shots more than anyone I can think of. I think he will go 10-15th overall.

- Greg Oden can start for 80-90% of NBA teams RIGHT NOW. He has been dominating using his non-dominate hand except in the Florida game due to foul trouble. Daequan Cook is damn good as well.

-Florida has a great shot of repeating this season, too many weapons (Noah, Horford, and Brewer all NBA material) and Horford has really shown serious improvement.

-Aaron Gray has put in a lot of work on his game and it shows but he is still slow and I question his overall effectiveness as a starter in the NBA
