How are we betting the sweet 16 games sweet prince?

IRT Murray, I also believe his parents started him in school later, since he was a close cutoff due to being a late August birthday.

Don't quote me on that, though.

As far as the Sweet 16 goes...

Gonzaga -9.5 to cover and win (Arkansas sucks)
Villanova -5 to cover and win
Duke +1 to cover and win
Arizona -1.5 to cover and win
Saint Peter's +12.5 to cover, Purdue wins (though I'll be rooting for SP)
Providence +7.5 to cover, Kansas wins
Miami -2.5 to cover and win
UNC +2.5 to cover and win

Houston / Arizona and UCLA / UNC have both been hard for me to pick.

Everyone talks about Banchero's size, when talking Duke, but AJ Griffin is a massive player for a true wing.

Griffin has the softest touch I have ever seen. Once he's at 100% I think he'll be a lot more explosive too. Would take him over Paolo 11/10 times.

I'd probably take him #1 overall, tbqh. I'm actually going to do a "what I would do" mock here shortly.

I'd definitely take him over Paolo, Chet, or Jabari. The only thing with Griffin is that he has serious injury/durability concerns. But assuming health I think there's a good chance that he and Ivey are the two best players from the class.

I'd probably rank my top 10 as of right now:

1. AJ Griffin | GF | Duke

2. Jaden Ivey | CG | Purdue

3. Paolo Banchero | F | Duke

4. Chet Holmgren | FC | Gonzaga

5. Jabari Smith | F | Auburn

6. Keegan Murray | F | Iowa

7. Jalen Duren | FC | Memphis

8. Shaedon Sharpe | GF | Kentucky

9. Benedict Mathurin | GF | Arizona

10. Johnny Davis | G | Wisconsin
