Will rep later.
Me too.
Today's line: 12 pts, 11 rebs, 5 asts, 3 steals, 2 blks, 2 TO's, 4-9 FG, 1-1 3pt.
I get the feeling that with his attributes & athleticism, things will come a bit easier for him than Burke in the NBA too. I know Burke has a lot of heart and determination, no question about that. But I also see a "fighter" in MCW - he's a score that looks to pass first which to me is a great sign.
I think he'll have a decent NBA career.

If this happens and Burke doesn't play well and struggles against length, the kind he will find in the NBA, could hurt his draft stock.
Not true. Favors born summer of 1991, McGary summer of 1992. WCS summer of 1993. His age makes a difference, yes, but can you name me 5 players that have played better than he has this tournament?
Who's tourney is helping his draft stock more?:
Burke:
36% FG
27% 3PT
2.3 FTA
1.3 REB
8.0 ASST
0.67 STL
4.3 TOs
15.7 PTs
One super comeback win
MCW:
49% FG
50% 3PT
5.3 FTA
5.8 REB
5 ASST
3.3 STL
2.3 TO
13.0 PTS
No comebacks, but key reason Syracuse won all games comfortably

I don't think either are really doing anything out of what they showed they were in the regular season. Some others who were previously in front of them may have dropped though.

great numbers hope Burke slides to us.
MCW shoots 39% from the floor while being an oversized athletic PG. I struggle to call him a "scorer" when he has about as much natural scoring ability as Kendall Marshall.
It's not a popular view, but I'd think MCW is having a better tournament overall at the moment. His length is really causing havocs with solid steal numbers and solid rebound numbers.
He's always going to be scary good when he starts to hit those 3pt shots and that's what he's done. Because of that he's able to drive to the lane, finish over shorter guards and dish it if need be.
He's scary good if he can hit that 3pt shot. Scary.
I'm just basing that comment re scorer on what DX wrote about him coming out of high school:
He has transformed himself into a pass first PG, but he was a scoring guard before he joined Syracuse.
So he could score in HS......
He can't score in college efficiently.
I don't see him scoring in the NBA efficiently.
Poor man's Jason Kidd at best, more likely Shaun Livingston.
Did you see the Indiana game?
I don't care if he scored on Oladipo a couple of times. A season > a game.

I would say Shaun Livingston before the injury. I would take that on the jazz right now.
Florida starts 3 seniors and 2 juniors....Michigan starts 3 freshman, a sophomore and a junior. That Florida team has been to the elite 8 twice in the last 2 years losing both games by a combined 7 points. I hope the 3rd time isn't the charm.
btw, I never got into posting on the Michigan boards, so thanks for letting me occasionally post some UM stuff here. I try to keep it relevant.

Florida is the better team, imo. I am pulling for blue.
Unfortunately I haven't seen them play at all, but from the highlights Florida seems to be just as athletic and much more consistent - probably attributed to their experience. Michigan had that rough stretch of 6-6 in Big10 play, but they seem to have returned to their old selves right around halftime of the SDSU game in round 1. Go Blue.
Those 20 games he played?
