2. No longer should the SEC be mocked as Kentucky, Florida and everyone else. This will be the deepest and strongest SEC in years, with Texas A&M, Alabama, Missouri, Vanderbilt and Ole Miss each capable of not only making the NCAA tournament but perhaps doing some damage too.
32. Freshmen who will have the biggest impact this season: Missouri’s Michael Porter, Duke’s Marvin Bagley, Arizona’s DeAndre Ayton.
40. Team that will make the biggest jump from last year to this year: Missouri. Could heralded freshman Michael Porter Jr. take the Tigers to the NCAA tournament after the worst three-year stretch in program history? It’s definitely possible. Missouri has the talent to finish in the upper third of the SEC if Cuonzo Martin can get his influx of promising newcomers to mesh quickly with a handful of key returners.
46. Missouri’s Cuonzo Martin will have the most immediate success of any new coach this season, but the hire I like best longterm is Indiana’s Archie Miller. In the next few years, he should have Indiana contending for Big Ten titles with a level of consistency that Tom Crean struggled to muster.
52. Orlando Classic prediction: West Virginia over Missouri
62. First-team All-Americans: G Devonte Graham (Kansas), G Joel Berry (North Carolina), F Miles Bridges (Michigan State), F Michael Porter (Missouri), F Bonzie Colson (Notre Dame)
