College basketball is oozing with talented teams for the upcoming 2013-2014 season. Many big name schools have improved, while others have gotten significantly worse. The Kansas Jayhawks have become one of the favorites to win the NCCA March Madness Tournament. They have signed a freshman small forward and the projected #1 overall pick for the 2014 NBA Draft, Andrew Wiggins. He is freakishly athletic and already has a great skill set. They also have a couple other solid freshmen in Wayne Seldon and Joel Embiid, Embiid swatting away shots in the paint, as Wayne Seldon can lock players down on the perimeter.
Duke is also a very talented team for the upcoming season. They signed another freshman small forward, Jabari Parker. He is not as athletic as Wiggins, but he has a refined skill set with a strong build, with allows him to bully people in the post. Duke obviously has success in the NCAA, as they have one of the best coaches in College Basketball, Mike Krzyzewski. They also have two great perimeter threats in Rasheed Sulaimon and Quinn Cook. Although they are great players, Jabari Parker will most likely be running the show, while trying to prove that he is a top 5 talent in the NCCA.
Kentucky is supposed to be one of the best teams in College Basketball, if not the best team. From point guard to center, their whole lineup is filled with superstardom, much like their team when they won the NCAA Tournament in their 2011-2012 run. This team is full of depth and has a great mix of inside scoring and outside shooting. Julius Randle, another freshman star who is in the top 5 conversation with Wiggins, Parker, and a few other stars. He is a very versatile power forward who uses his great strength and athleticism to finish in the paint. Twin brothers Andrew and Aaron Harrison are most likely going to be the two starting guards for the Kentucky Wildcats. Andrew is a fantastic playmaker and ball handler at the point guard spot, while Aaron is an athletic 2 guard with tremendous shooting ability. James Young is another player who can contribute perimeter scoring to the Wildcats with his great jumper from the three-point line. With these four stardom-filled freshmen, and a talented center named Willie Cauley Stein returning to Kentucky for his sophomore season, the Wildcats should be a highly thought of contender for winning the NCCA Championship.
