Future N.B.A. Stars in March MadnessMen\u2019s college basketball is experiencing an offensive surge, with scoring and tempo reaching all-time highs. \u201cThe Athletic Show\u201d breaks down the top powerhouse programs to watch and highlights the potential future N.B.A. stars currently hitting the court.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think college basketball, the actual product, is as fun as it\u2019s ever been. Scoring is at an all-time high, tempo is at an all-time high. If you love offense, it\u2019s a good place to be right now. And then I think the fact that the biggest brands are as good as they\u2019ve ever been, yeah. Talking about Florida has a chance to go back-to-back. They\u2019ve done that about 20 years ago. They have a chance to do it again. UConn has a chance to win three out of four. And then you\u2019ve got other top teams: Arizona hasn\u2019t won it in decades. Duke \u2014 you have all these elite brands that are right at the top. They\u2019re surging. Should make for a really fun tournament.\u201d \u201cWho are the big-name players we should be watching for that are potential future N.B.A. stars?\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ve got AJ Dybantsa out at B.Y.U. He looks like he could be the next Jayson Tatum, basically. You\u2019ve got Darryn Peterson, when he plays at Kansas, has been tremendous. Cameron Boozer at Duke. Darryn Peterson, when he plays, he\u2019s drawn comparisons to Donovan Mitchell to Kobe Bryant. I mean, he\u2019s a really, really special talent. He has missed nine games for cramping, hamstring issues. He had an ankle issue. I think the reality is, you talk to people around the sport, there is something physical there. This is not a situation where the guy is just holding himself out so that he\u2019s protecting his draft stock. The fact that he is continuing to try to play proves that there is something there. But it is incredibly strange. And for Kansas, this is a team that can win the national championship with him. Without him, it\u2019s a team that can flame out in the first round. So when you\u2019re filling out your brackets, it\u2019s a team I have no idea what to do with. You can have them go all the way. You can have them flame out early. It\u2019s one of one, truly.\u201d<\/p>\n
