Message: [QUOTE="tcf15, post: 4408326, member: 208"] [SIZE=6]Big East Players in Top 20 Bigs[/SIZE] [B]6. Ryan Kalkbrenner | 7-1 defensive post | Creighton[/B] Kalkbrenner is my favorite among the rest of the nation’s bigs. He has a case to be the top defensive player in college basketball, as a shot-blocker who also moves really well and is constantly crowding both ball-handlers and finishers at the rim with his length. Beyond that, he’s also a developing shooter from distance, runs hard to the rim both in transition and out of ball-screens, and has reasonable touch on the block if Creighton needs to throw it down to him. If any other player is going to enter that top tier of bigs, he’s my bet. Creighton is loaded with talent and a roster that fits together, but he’s the linchpin of the whole thing. He’s the reason they have a real chance to go to the Final Four if things break right. [/QUOTE]
