    I’m surprised Nerlens Noel wasn’t at least a projected 3rd teamer, but whatever

      Siva is good, but her really gets on my nerves.

    So SN thinks Siva is tied for the second best pg in the country when in fact the only reason they beat Florida in the NCAA finals was siva was in foul trouble and had to sit the final minutes.

      Siva is good, but he’s definitely not worth all the press he gets. Just my opinion.
