He lists Braden Smith the 6th best player in Big 10 this year. I hope PJ plays Braden that clip before every game. I love a mad Braden.

Shrug. I don't think Braden needs stuff like that for motivation.

Could there be 5 better players in the B1G this year? Yeah, maybe, but admittedly I don't know the rosters of the new teams all that well. But off the top of my head I'm guessing he has the 2 Rutgers frosh and Bruce Thornton up there. Maybe someone from UCLA, someone from Oregon? Michigan? There are so many new faces it's hard to guess.

ETA: I generally think Andy Katz is one of the good ones out there. Does that mean I always agree with him? No, but he's not an idiot.

Great Osobor at number 5

Thornton #8
 
First thing Braden does this year is rip off 31 in an exhibition game ! I don't think Braden needs to prove anything! Just be Braden, and get the freak out of his way , he is on a mission. Katz didn't even know Braden when he showed up on campus and after this season it will be Mr. Smith. Lol.

BTW, this list was based on NBA potential as opposed to who Katz thinks is the best player in the conference or who might win POY. Much ado about nothing IMO.
I saw that he said that. That seems like a bit of a backtrack on his part IMO. And frankly, if you are talking NBA potential, I'm not sure Braden (nor Osobor) should be top 10.

Not very many people thought Edey would be successful in the NBA. He has proven many people wrong.

On the other hand, many people predicted Ivey would be better in the pros than in college.

On the other hand, I have found national analysts to be far more accurate and objective than the posters on this forum.

If he believes there are 5 players better than smith, he’s probably right. I haven’t seen Smith’s name included in any mock drafts.

Northwestern’s Boo was a pretty good player but was never drafted. Michigan’s Dickinson was a good player but not good enough for the pros.

I don’t really care who the greatest player or player is. I don’t root for individual players. I root for teams.

We all know Those teams are definitely NOT Purdue.

But Ivey is doing pretty well in the nba….not sure why you think he’s not?

The list is based on nba potential, but who the actual best player is in the conference. Still weird he lists Great Osobor at 5.
