Starters: Karl Towns, Julius Randle, Reed Sheppard, Jeff Sheppard, Tyrese Maxey

Reserves: Jamaal Magloire, Cliff Hawkins, Alex Groza. Allen Edwards, TyTy Washington, Steve Masiello

On offense I'm going to pound it inside with KAT and Randle. Maxey and Reed are money shooters waiting on the perimeter with Daddy Sheppard ready to slash to the basket. If I need to lock it down on defense I can sub in Magloire for KAT and Hawkins for Reed and the nasty factor increases dramatically. Want to go small and run and shoot lights out? I can throw KAT/Randle at the 5 with Jeff, Reed, Maxey and Tyty. Go big? Magloire, KAT, Randle, Reed/Jeff and Maxey.

I've got options. But specifically for the college game, I'm playing bully ball with Randle and KAT/Magloire hammering on the interior all day long. Eventually it is either going to get the opponent in foul trouble or create opportunities for my shooters on the kick out.

Put me through to the finals. It's a balanced and well constructed team.

This is a very good matchup, but overall I feel Fox takes it. I’m not sure who can stop Tayshaun in this matchup, and that was the deciding factor for me in a close one.

Towns vs Bam
Randle vs Hayes
JShep vs Prince
RShep vs Ford
Maxey vs Fox

Would be fun to watch Randle & Hayes play physical. While Reed and Ford couldn't guard each other. Because of Prince length and JShep playing out of position, Prince has an advantage there. I'm curious how big an affect Groza, Nash & Riley have on the game. This is another tough one. I may go with F2M by 2, just because a more balanced team.

You would think that until two minutes into the game when Reed throws the alley oop to his dad for the and one.

Went w/ foxto monk on a close call. I don't see anyone on chroix's team who will be able to guard Prince; and, I like Jr Braddy a HELLUVA lot more than Masiello for the cigar player.
