2012 NBA Draft: A fun mock draft and mock links

By Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, 5 years ago

What if the NBA drafted solely on NCAA production and didn’t stress potential or what a player could become? According to ESPN.com’s Eamonn Brennan, the Big Ten would dominate Thurday’s NBA draft lottery. After the obvious choice, Kentucky’s Anthony Davis at No. 1, Brennan has a Big Ten player making up the rest of his production-based mock top 5. See Brennan’s list in this post, plus get all your links to mock drafts. 1. Anthony Davis, Kentucky “There is a certain threshold where the production-versus-potential dynamic ceases to matter one bit, but it doesn’t come along very often.” Read more.

By Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, 5 years ago

The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article that breaks down which colleges produced the most minutes in the NBA during this strike-shortened campaign. Duke, to no surprise, landed at No. 1, with 21,609 minutes. But what about Big Ten teams? Ohio State (7,903 minutes) came in 13th to lead 10 Big Ten teams.

Talking 2012-13 Big Ten Basketball Breakout Players

By Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, 5 years ago

ESPN.com’s Eamonn Brennan posted a story Thursday offering his 10 potential breakout players for 2012-13, and the list features one Big Ten player: Michigan State’s Keith Appling. Here’s a sampling of Brennan’s thoughts on Appling: “With the team’s do-everything leader Draymond Green gone, and a batch of younger, less experienced players rounding out the rotation, Appling has a chance to evolve from a nice complementary piece into one of the Big Ten’s bonafide stars.” [ESPN.com: 10 potential breakout players for 2012-13] Appling is a good choice, no doubt, but I’m surprised to see only one player from the Big Ten,

By BTN.com staff, 5 years ago

(AP) Jarrod Uthoff is staying in the Big Ten – and he figures to see plenty more of Bo Ryan over the next few years. Uthoff told The Associated Press in a phone interview on Wednesday night that he’s transferring to Iowa even though Badgers coach Bo Ryan restricted the Hawkeyes from contacting him. [AP: Jarrod Uthoff to transfer to Iowa] Uthoff will have to pay his own way next year at Iowa and will also have to sit out the 2012-13 season per NCAA transfer rules. But that’s not an issue for Uthoff, who hails from nearby Cedar Rapids,
