Miles Bridges & Jaren Jackson, Michigan State Spartans
DeAndre Ayton & Allonzo Trier, Arizona Wildcats
Devonte' Graham & Svi Mykhailiuk, Kansas Jayhawks
Jock Landale & Calvin Hermanson, Saint Mary's Gaels
Chris Chiozza & KeVaughn Allen, Florida Gators
Deng Adel & Quentin Snider, Louisville Cardinals
Khadeen Carrington & Angel Delgado, Seton Hall Pirates
Andrew Jones & Mohamed Bamba, Texas Longhorns

No real problem with this list. No clue the love affair that people have with Svi, though.

As far as UK goes, I guess when you have so many options that can break out on a nightly basis, you can't pick just two.
 
I think Knox and Washington will be our lethal combo. Diallo is a freak but still very raw and will have some rough nights, Knox and Washington are the most ready to produce on a game to game basis right now.

We won't have a lethal duo, IMHO. This team is built to share the ball. As Cal says, "everybody eats" and they all get to their dreams. We will have four to five guys that are low double digit scorers. Nobody above 15ppg, though. Balanced scoring will be the key to our success.
 
To be fair, he doesn't have many freshman on that list, and certainly not two on one team. Almost impossible to pick a UK combo for next year. Had we kept one of Bam, Fox, Monk and maybe even Briscoe.. we make that list with them and some other complimentary freshman.

Snider is good starting guard, not sure I would include him in this list, though. I think Adel and King will be U of L's best players.

What a shock with the Kansas entry. They would list them if they had the 2 worst guards in the country. The media's love affair with KU will never end.
 
Svi and graham are pure fools gold for Kansas. Theyre good enough to win the conference title, but those two as leaders have second round loss written all over em.

some good tandems on that list. not to be a homer but I don't think Snider/Adel belong on there. Snider is a career 38% shooter. Hes a solid college player but they aren't on the level of the combos listed for teams like Arizona, Florida, Seaton Hall, Michigan State. Surprised they don't have a Duke combo on there.

Can't believe Allen and Duval or Allen and Carter aren't listed.

Allen has to be mentioned somewhere on this list. He's the best player since Reddick. Maybe since Laettner.

Funny Dial lo looked the most poised and in control of most of the guys at the U19. Plus not sold on either Knox or Washington being better than Vanderbild who passes and handles better than all 3 plus plays with a MKG motor
 
Graham is great. Only a fool would deny that he is a really good guard for Kansas.

I don't get the hype with Svi. He's got a ton of experience, but he's never displayed any significant amount of talent. Reminds me of a poor man's Lee Humphries from back in the day. Complimentary...decent...but not an upper tier player.
 
Fake news. Everyone knows UK has the best duo in the country in UMM and smooth, they're nearly unstoppable in the post. (Pun intended)
