ESPN "Best Case/Worst Case" Pac-12 basketball

That was terrible. A kid with advanced post moves, who averaged double figures without a college ready body isn't an adequate post threat? This guy clearly only follows a couple of Pac 12 teams (UA, UCLA).

Agreed on its atrociousness. Eammon Brennan pays little to no attention to the Pac, that was known well before this.
 
There is a lot of kool-aide being consumed in the comments to those articles. Colorado is still an afterthought by many in this conference.
 
I don't really see the issue with it. It's a worse case scenario. Personally, I expect Scott to have a great year, especially with a few more pounds on him and with more minutes at Power Forward. But he did struggle in Pac-12 play, especially late. Some of that was likely related to him getting thrown down/face planted against ASU, but he did struggle against bigger players.

I think I am more worried about his defense, tho, then the offense.

The good news is 6-foot-10 sophomore forward Josh Scott looks capable of working the glass in a similar fashion; the bad news is Scott still has a ways to go before he can be considered the interior threat

How does that make sense? Scott as a Freshman averaged 10.2 points and 5.7 boards a game, how is he not a interior threat already?

I found these comments funny...

Walker Christian Not with Tra Holder and some of the freshmen coming in. You better understand nba potential if you shoot 41% in college thats garbage bro that will not accumulate well to the nba. I think Dinwiddie is good but your high if you think hes going to be a good nba pg. McConnell has the most potential in terms of nba caliber pg Carson will be a great bench scorer like Nate Robinson with more b-ball iq. McConnell reminds me of Nash and im an ASU fan.

Michael Van Os How could they not Jahii Carson and Jermaine Marshall is the best back court in the country are you new Bachynski best shot blocker? This is the deepest team asu has had in years. Go to bed.

^^by the same guy^^

Stanford will win the Pac. They have the best front court in the nation as far as scoring,rebounding and blks in Josh Huestis and Dwight Powell. They return Anthony Brown who was very good as a Soph before he got hurt last season and Chasson will be a year better. They return every important player from last year

He doesn't write that he isn't an interior threat already. At least the way I take it, he writes that he isn't the type of threat needed to take the team to another level. I'm assuming by another level, he means Sweet 16 type/Top 3 in the Pac 12 type of level. In the context of worst case scenario, with the knowledge that Josh definitely struggled his last 10 or so Pac 12 games last season (6.3 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 39% FG% his last 10.5 games with ASU being the 0.5 game), don't really find anything he wrote to be terribly offensive.

Nothing is terribly offensive, it's just not a very good piece...on CU or any other team.
