Isn’t this interesting
ESPN.com savant Jay Bilas listed his Top 68 teams, he’s done this in advance of March Madness. His Top 10 teams contained the usual suspects except at number 9, Bilas placed the Buffalo Bulls in that position. Yes, that's not a typo he meant what he said.

One of these things is not like the other
It’s not that big a deal, it’s just words on a piece of paper, ESPN.com announced LaMelo Ball has been added to their Top 100 prospects for 2019. As for Rivals.com they omit the “baby” Ball brother for the time being. The key issue for the youngest Ball brother, does he have a future in the NBA? That question remains unanswered for now, stay tuned.

Where are you?
The 61-point performance by Rockets guard James Harden is noteworthy. He’s averaged 52.2 ppg over a 5-game period. The headline is for all those Kobe haters, why are you so silent now? You certainly were willing to share with me your thoughts regarding the Laker guard’s “shoot-first” mentality. Oh, I get it you just didn’t like Kobe for some reason, okay that’s cool. Just wanted you to note there’s a guy around who shoots more than Kobe.

Your all-time team
I turned the channel to NBA TV and the studio host announced their all-time starting five team. The problem we often include players we only know by reputation rather than play. With that it’s still difficult to whittle your list down to five only. You’ve got to leave somebody off your team that someone else might include. It’s still fun although as fans we never produce the same team, with that said I’ve decided my team will contain 10 athletes rather than 5. This is my list, consider your own.

Did you note my team is heavy laden
with big men, it’s my list what about yours?
Outstanding except for…….
This is a disclaimer, there is no attempt on my part to belittle this talented athlete, this is simply intended to point out areas needing improvement. He stands 6 foot 7 inches and 285 pounds, we almost expect him to rip open his Duke jersey revealing his barrel chest and a huge S. Is there nothing Zion Williamson cannot do, well there are a couple of things that will require work.

His 3-point shot needs improvement,
he’s shooting .270 and we realize the line is greater in the NBA. Williamson’s 3 point and medium range shot
need work, how about .675 from the free-throw line? For 285 pounds Williamson is swift up and
down the court, his defensive presence is certainly adequate. Despite pointing out areas of his game
requiring improvement there is no doubt, IF he leaves Duke, he’ll be the top
draft choice in the June NBA draft.
Every season a phenomenal athlete emerges in the college game, this
season it’s Zion Williamson.
