    Default top 5 players in the final four

    The numbers represent my own personal rating system for NBA success. This system likes guys like David Lee, and Carl Landry as well as Noah Horford Conley Oden Roy and Paul. It hates guys like Hawes Thaddeus Young Redick Lofton Curry, etc. For point of reference purposes the best ever was Paul(since 05) and he was a 24. Noah Horford Conley and Roy were all low 20s. I think anything over 20 is a future all star. Over 15 is a starter. Under 10 is a bust. Over 10 is a 7th or 8th man.


    First lets look at each teams best 3 players.

    Kevin Love 26
    Darren Collison 13(he was rated higher last year)
    Westbrook 16
    Chalmers 16
    Darnell Jackson 14
    Darell Arthur 11
    Derrick Rose 23
    Robert Dozier 12
    Joey Dorsey 15
    hansbrough 17
    Ty Lawson 17
    Danny Green 8

    So, I think there 2 future all stars and 6(7 if you count Collison for what he did last year when he wasn't injured) future NBA contributors.

    Ranking them we have.
    1. Kevin Love
    2. Derrick Rose
    3a. Hansborough
    3b. Lawson
    5. Chalmers/Westbrook

    If you look at the matchups

    Ucla vs. Memphis(-1)
    Love > Dorsey
    Rose > Collison
    x-factor = Westbrook
    *UCLa should win because memphis has no answer for Westbrook. For the first time this year Memphis wont have the best players on the floor.

    UNC vs. Kansas(+3)
    Hansbrough > Jackson
    Lawson > Chalmers
    * UNC shouldn't need an x-factor since they will probably shut down Kansas' two best players.

    THe championship game should feature UNC vs. UCLA in which Westbrook will have to play x-factor again and should have an easy time doing so.

    One man's opinion.

    gl everyone

    it will be the supporting cast members who need to step up because the stars will be keyed on and neutralized a bit at this top level of final 4 basketball, historically, there is usually a supporting guy or two who step up and make it happen
