Jahlil Okafor, March Madness, and NBA thoughts

Jahlil Okafor will be the number one pick in the NBA draft. He is a very similar player to Blake Griffin. Very strong, athletic, and  low post scoring threat that will eventually expanded his game to 18ft. As of now he is the most dominant player in the NCAA. The Knicks or whoever grabs the number one pick would be stupid not to draft this kid. He is going to be a very good NBA player within his first few years.

Moving on from Okafor to the NCAA tournament, I think Kentucky will run the table, but with 3 true tests to win it all. Depending on the seeding and placement of teams, I truly think Arizona, Villanova or Virginia will be the team that gets to square off against Kentucky for the championship. 

NBA thoughts

It's pathetic that the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets will not make the playoffs. 

Chicago has been on a terrible skid allowing the Cavs to separate themselves from the Bulls for the #2 seed.

The Hornets are playing well enough to make the playoffs. 

Love that the Nuggets have beaten the Hawks and Warriors in a row, especially after just firing Brian Shaw. 

MVP

I think Steph Curry will win it and he deserves it, but I think Westbrook is playing out of his mind. If OKC wouldn't have had such a rough start to their season, I believe Westbrook would be the MVP. 

1. Curry 
2. Harden 
3. LeBron 
4. Westbrook 
5. Davis
