Leave us not forget local boy Troy Bell who has simply been spectacular over the past 3 weeks.

mark, 

i agree, the tournament is a great time to scout. one
guy you shouldn't overlook is hollis price from OK. i
know he's small, but the guy can flat out play. i'm a
Texas fan, so OU is the enemy, but Price is the real
deal. will not play point in the NBA, but could be
paired with a big point ala Iverson.

March Madness is just around the corner, and I was
hoping everyone 
could
suggest some players they might be familiar with who
would be worth 
checking
out. You tend to see the same players all the time
during the season, 
but
suddenly get all kinds of new players and teams this
time of year.

Here are a few from the Big Ten and surrounding area.
Most are pretty 
well
known.

Brian Cook, Illinois-talented but inconsistent
inside-out big man
Lavell Blanchard, Michigan-jack-of-all-trades swingman
Daniel Horton, Michigan-talented freshman, but would
be surprised to 
see him
declare for the draft
Reece Gaines, Louisville-big combo guard who plays
point guard for
Louisville. Good shooter, but not really a point
guard. Sounds like a
natural Celtic.
Dwayne Wade, Marquette-A bit of an undersized shooting
guard. Not a 
great
shooter, but very crafty scorer. I actually like this
guy, and I never 
like
this type of player. He could be another Joseph Forte,
but there's just
something there that impresses me. Not sure what it
is.
Keith Bogans, Kentucky-Another slightly undersized
shooting guard. 
Strictly
a one-position guy. Good mid-range game, good body.
Jules Camara, Kentucky-Doesn't put up huge numbers,
but he's long and
athletic and may develop into a Keon Clark type
player.
David West, Xavier-Has put up some huge numbers
(including a 47-point,
18-rebound game against Dayton, Obie's former school).
A Marcus
Fizer/Corliss Williamson type. Great college player,
but a little 
undersized
for the NBA.
Jeff Newton, Indiana-low-post power forward, but
doesn't impress me as 
NBA
material. Can score in the post in college, but he's
not especially 
strong.
Would be a project. Think Kirk Haston without the jump
shot.

That's about it among the players in this area. Of
course, I've seen 
the
Kansas duo, T.J. Ford, the Duke guys, Arizona, etc.
because they've 
been on
national TV so much, but I'm sure there are other list
members who have 
a
better feel for those guys.

Forgive the off-topic post. Just enjoy "scouting" at
this time of year 
and
thought there might be some others out there who do
also.
