As the NBA Draft rapidly approaches, prospects, especially projected 2nd-rounders, try to get in as many workouts as possible for various teams. Recently, Dante Cunningham has worked out for the Charlotte Bobcats on June 12th, the Utah Jazz on June 15th, and he has a workout scheduled with the Portland Trailblazers today, June 17th. After these workouts, the media caught up with Dante down in Charlotte and out west in Utah to discuss these sessions.
ESPN college basketball analyst Joe Lunardi is back with an updated version of his notorious bracketology. For what it’s worth, Lunardi projects Villanova as a #2 seed, but reading into March Madness projections on June 17th is way too premature to say the least.
Pat Forde, of ESPN, also came out with his top ten teams for next season. For Forde, Villanova ranks #2 behind the Kansas Jayhawks. His take on the Cats:
When Scottie Reynolds re-upped, the Wildcats became Big East favorites and a national title threat. Reynolds returns to join three other key players from last season’s Final Four team, plus coach Jay Wright adds one of the nation’s best recruiting classes and Duke transfer Taylor King. Replacing Dante Cunningham’s points, rebounds and leadership will be the hard part.
