This has bee an interesting year in college basketball. From the Trae Young takeover to Kentucky’s historic struggles, there have been plenty of unique storylines that nobody could have predicated entering the season.
We also had the FBI investigations, which cost Rick Pitino his job and will keep players like De’Anthony Melton, Austin Wiley and Brian Bowen sidelined all season. It doesn’t have the same vibes as your typical year in the NCAA.
The 2018 NBA Draft reflects that. This might be the most top-heavy class since 2003, featuring seven or eight different players with clear-cut star upside.
