Also, Tu might have something to say about Chaz being the undoubted A-10 POY runner up. His 17.5 points/4.9 assists/1.5 steals is pretty darn close to Chaz' 16.9 points/6.2 assists/2.2 steals. I'm not saying Chaz isn't a great PG, but the gap isn't as wide as you make it out.

The difference between those two guys and Chaz? Chaz is a distributor. Those two never put up the types of assist numbers that Chaz Williams has. They were considered more scorers than distributors. Due to that, these guys weren't expected by scouts to be NBA point guards, but rather shooting guards. And at SG, they're both too short. So is Chaz Williams. Chaz as an NBA SG? No way. But as an NBA PG? That's how he'll be evaluated, unlike those two.

I love Chaz Williams' game. But I'll be very surprised if he makes the NBA. If he goes from decent/dangerous shooter to sniper in the next two years, he'll get a close look. But even then, he won't be able to defend anyone in the NBA. He should make some money somewhere, though.

The HoopsReport is doing the top 68.
This is just another opinion and they are down to #64.

I'm thinking he'll be able to have quite the career in Europe, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Maybe he can get on an NBA summer roster though and turn some heads.

Best thing for him is that he has two more years to play. He needs to have exceptional skills to overcome his size. For him, that means his shot. He can shoot, but he needs to be even better and increase his range.

I have no doubt that's what he's been working on the most in the offseason. One of the (other) best things he has going for him is his drive.

He wants to be the leader of the team, and I feel like he takes that responsibility to heart.

Good question. I think there will be some correlation with the type of analysis and the actual placement. If they appear at the 30's or higher, I smell a lot of cutting and pasting of previously posted stats, depth charts and the like. But, if somehow, they are not listed until the 20's I am afraid he may actually overload the site and shut it down, then hunt down Welser and threaten his life.....

Eiher way there should be a paragraph or three discussing Joel's lack of credibility and calling for a full refresh of the entire projections to move Xavier back below Dayton (if not completley off the top 144), but conveniently ignore any changes on any other team he has ranked previously...

No matter what though, good times are comming!

Well, St. Joe's checks in at #46. This is getting good.

Who's left...St.Louis,VCU, and Richmond?

Guys, as funny as these posts are, you should stop.

SpiderDave has made a good point in the past that this is the type of stuff that encourages the trolls to keep coming back. Obviously, with Muddy, it's inevitable that there will be outrage when a certain team comes up on the list. But still, there's no need to make silly posts like this, it just leads to more of it happening. Thanks for the good laugh guys, but please, stop what you're doing for the good of this board.
