Top 55 Players in the Big East

By the end of January Christian Bishop will be on every BE first team projection.

Well if that is the case then CB better be the clear #2 on CU and they better win the conference outright. We know he’s not better than Marcus Z., and not sure I’d pick him over either Mitch or Denzel as the clear #2 Jay. Then you need to ask if he’s better than any combination of: Gillespie and JRE, Mamu, Carton, Scruggs, Duke, and Bouknight, for starters.

I’d put a gentleman’s bet on your prediction. I don’t see any path for a guy who is an A+ glue type player. He doesn’t seem to be an Alpha by any stretch. 1st team All-conf is all about being an Alpha IMO.

I also struggle to see why X fans are so eager to annoint Kyky Tandy. He had a nice freshman year (6.7pts/.9asst/1.3reb) and I think he projects out to a solid 4-year contributer who should contend for All BE honors as a senior (maybe even as a junior) but I don't see anything historic here. Maybe he'll take a huge jump and surprise me, but I see a good role player for this year rather than a star. Give the kid some time.

I think he will be one of the better scorers in the conference as an upperclassman, but man, his defense is *bad*. He basically couldn't see the court in the second half of the game versus Bradley because of his defense. With how bad he was at defense last year, I completely understand him not being even ranked.

I agree on both points, I think he has the potential to be an excellent player as an upperclassman. For his sophomore year, if I were an X fan, I'd be thrilled if he could average a fairly efficient 10-15ppg and be something better than a turnstile on the defensive end. It would show growth that makes the star X fans think he'll be a realistic possibility for his senior and possibly even junior year.

That’s a lot of alphas to jump but I still think he’s got the hops to do it (without diminishing Z’s alpha status). How about I scale the bet down to more than 1 all BE 1st team projection by the end of February? We can do a one month avatar and signature bet.

And Gumby, nothing disturbing with the Avs, I will go with JREs pic and you would be CB. We choose the others pic tho, has to be complimentary (ie, I wouldn’t get to post JRE getting stuffed by Kalkbrenner or anything )

Ha ha I can see you saying that like my favorite line from Fletch.

Ok it’s on! Thanks for playing. One thing I also have going for me is that when Z gets player of the year he will leave 5 spots on the first team all Big East squad for his teamate THE BISHOP!

LOL, Analytics? Let me guess numbers 1-3 Zegarowski, Ballock and Jefferson?

This is no longer a guard's conference. Too many dominant big guys.
