thoughts, predictions, and other nonsense...that's what i'm here for.

prediction #1:  and it's a shocker....the gators will repeat as nat'l champs.  that's right, not only will they double dip on the court, but they'll share the spotlight of the school year athletic success with the football team.

#2:  georgetown is playing ohio state....one of these teams will play a large portion of each half without their big man.  call me crazy, but i'm betting it's the buckeyes.  oden has been getting in foul trouble regularly as of late, and now he actually has to defend another big man.  i should note that it wouldnt surprise me if BOTH these guys see more time on the bench than they do on the court.

#3:  joakim noah will run his mouth after the gators win.  can somebody explain to me why this guy is considered a top 5 lottery pick?  i mean, other than being tall (and skinny, and girly-looking), what's the big deal?  he looked like a big idiot running around thumping his chest after the gators punched their ticket back to the final four. 

#4:  kevin durant will announce at some point during the final four that he's turning pro.  dont ask me why, it's just a hunch.  the dude just won player of the year, and he's going to make more money than Oprah (ok, maybe not quite that much) in endorsement deals.

......enough predictions.

since i dont know enough about all the teams around the country, i'd like to get an idea of who you think are the top 15 or so draft prospects.  dont worry about if they've declared yet or not, just give me your top 15 or so.  i'm curious to see how many names i really recognize, and how high you rate the ones i know.

i know about oden, durant, a little about 2 guys named wright, dominc james (who i dont think is ready based on his 2nd half of the season), hansbrough, noah, horford, brewer, alando tucker (who isnt likely to be a lottery pick), aaron gray (christian laettner's gay/clone/brother/cousin), fazekas....thats all i can think of at the moment....who else is there? and where do you rank them?
