    Sense of humor. Try it sometime.

    Cause this team is never going to play a game, so who gives a shit? It should be the 5 best players in the country.

    Didn't know where else to put this, and didn't think it deserved it's own thread.

    Second Team

    Deshaun Thomas (Ohio State): His team’s season ended when Kansas launched a furious comeback in their Final Four matchup Saturday. Prior to his nine-point effort that night, however, Thomas had scored 31, 18, 24 and 14 points, respectively, in Ohio State’s four previous NCAA tournament games. If he comes back for another year, the Buckeyes will be a top-5 preseason squad.
    Other noteworthy performances:

    Aaron Craft is a thief. The sophomore had 16 steals for Ohio State throughout the NCAA tournament and solidified his slot as one of America’s greatest on-the-ball defenders.

    I think Thomas could be an all american next year. I have no question he would avg around 20 or more a game. He would be the focal point of the offense. Even though Sully was a major clog for OSU, I really feel Williams will step in and do fine next year. He won't get 17pts per game. But I can see him getting 10-14pts, and 10rbs. He will also be a defensive force in the middle with his length. Of course, all of this depends on Thomas returning. He would go from a late 1st rd pick this year to a lottery pick next year IMO.
