Lonzo Ball's shooting form will get stuffed to the rafters in the NBA

I'm liking that left ear release. It's going to get stuffed to the rafters in the NBA, but I love it. It's going to be great to watch, though. At first, when I'd watch [Lonzo Ball] shoot, I'd be like, that's like watching Jim Furyk swing a golf club. No way can this guy be good.

PredictionBasketballMedium
Lonzo Ball did struggle with shooting efficiency early in his career and eventually had to rework his mechanics, though he became a serviceble shooter before injuries.

The Big Ten had three teams in the Sweet 16 in 2017, which was considered a bounce-back year for the conference.

Upsets in the first round usually mean bad games in the second round

Upsets in the first round usually mean bad games in the second round. We didn't have a lot of upsets in the first round. We had some pretty good games in the second round.

Fact ClaimCBBMildSubjective
Subjective sports theory, but generally supported by the idea that higher seeds provide better competition.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

Hot TakeCBBHotSubjective
This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

PredictionCBBMedium
This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.
