CBS Ranks the Top 100 CBB Players

[Huskies4ever]

DeAndre should be top 20. He will dominate this season.

I would like this to be true. He will be our third option. The offense will run through Bazz and Boat.

The key for DD is consistency and confidence. The two C's. When the injuries accumulated at the end of the season, he really stepped it up. He was much more comfortable being the number one option. You could see so much more confidence in himself. He needs to carry that into this season.

It's funny, but before last season started, I kept posting how I thought Daniels would step it up and show major improvement over his frosh campaign. Many here agreed, but there were some who thought he "wasn't athletic" and "couldn't create off the dribble". They didn't expect much of him. Now, on this board, we expect him to be a possible All-American. I'm excited for this season, and to see how much Daniels has improved. I would love 15 and 6/7 on a consistent basis.

Agree a 100%! DD is going to have a monster year. In 5 of his last 6 games he put up 17, 25, 18, 23 & 19 points. The 25 pt one was when he out-dueled Georgetown's Porter.

I do expect him to pick up where he left off and when he does so, his omission from this list will make it look silly.

No way DD was going to be ranked top 20 going into this season. I agree that he definitely should be top 100. He had an exceptional last four games but IMO that is hardly enough to say he will be top 20 this year. Is there a chance? Definitely. DD is very underrated nationally but I'm beginning to think he is overrated on the Boneyard. The kid has obviously been putting in a lot of work this off season but we can't count on him being an absolute stud. I would love to see 15-16 points and 7-8 boards.

I think it's more about people of a certain color/race succeeding in a role that is usually dominated by another race/color. The media goes nuts for it. That's why black QBs got so much hype starting with Vick, and why Jason Sehorn got so much pub as a white CB.

That's a good point

It's not where you start, it's where you finish. Who better than Kevin Ollie to deliver this message? Looking forward to the season. We reclaim our rightful place at the top of the CBB world

[... but we are doomed, of course.]

15 and 7 were his averages over the last 8 games of the season. I'm not sure if that's been brought up elsewhere and the reason you are referencing those numbers specifically, but that is completely within the realm of reason.
