Re: Kentucky is one of the 15 best teams in the country
Mills is better than Curry and Harden? :+clueless Come on man, don't you think you're exaggerating a little?
Mills is a better natural point guard than both, yes. I have already said I believe Harden is the best player in the nation, with the only possible one ahead of him being Blake Griffin. If I simply said guard I apologize, I meant PG.
Mills is tremendously talented. The kid is going to be a star and should be a top 10 pick.
As for Oklahoma, I know the role players have stepped up this year, but I just don't see that much talent behind Griffin. I see them being maybe slightly better than Kansas St was last year. I would take Griffin over Beasley any day, but the role players are similar in terms of overall talent.
If Oklahoma has a matchup where they maybe get West VA or Arizona St in the second round and a possible matchup with a team like Clemson in the Sweet 16 I can easily see them exiting early. I wouldn't put them as big favs over either one of those teams, and if they would give more than 5 to any I would fade them in a second.
Obviously they could go far if they get a nice bracket with a matchup vs a team like VT in the second round and a team like Illinois or Villanova in the third.
It will depend a lot on the bracket for them, but IMO they will lose vs the good teams.
