Dayton
Dayton is proving that they’re a complete team built around Obi Toppin and an A-10 favorite. In addition, the play of Jalen Crutcher has been very effective as a perimeter scorer. Next, Ryan Mikesell adds very good versatility for Dayton with his ability to score inside as well as stretching the defense. As well as, Rodney Chatman giving them very good play at point guard play initiating the offense. Furthermore, the bench depth is there with the addition of Ibi Watson’s ability to contribute. This is a complete team around Obi Toppin that will be making major noise coming in March.
Butler
North Carolina
The scoring outside of Cole Anthony is striking and very alarming for this team. Now, when Cole Anthony is struggling to score the ball efficiently then North Carolina is in a load of trouble. In addition, they will need Armando Bacot to get back healthy to provide interior scoring along with Garrison Brooks. However, the two transfers in Christian Keeling and Justin Pierce need to show their worth offensively. Also, Leaky Black and Brandon Robinson are going to need to be able to be consistent scoring threats as well. North Carolina must be able to get out in transition and dominate the boards to get easy looks offensively. North Carolina will not be able to ride Cole Anthony all season without help.
Gonzaga
Luka Garza
Garza has been one of the most dominant players to start this season. The junior is averaging 22.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. The presence he brings for Iowa inside is tremendous and he has added to his game with the ability to stretch the defense from the perimeter. He is shooting 42.9 percent from deep and making about two threes a game. If Luka Garza can keep up the pace he is at he will for sure be an All-American.
