Why didn't we have @Trueblood talking about games, and what players to watch for?

I was lost without his steering. 
My sleeper player was Aday Mara of Michigan. 7'3" center who moves his feet well, has great post moves and predictably blocked a lot of shots
Weak frame but that's a good thing. There is time for him to bulk up so when he gets in NBA weight rooms and with the right fitness trainers, he can improve even more
I bring up his physique and the ability to get better because some players come into the league with an NBA build but as a result, they are practically a finished product. Blake Griffin comes to mind. His best year were his early years. Mara is this year's Zach Edey. Whereas Edey lost weight with the guidance of NBA trainers and became a much better player as a result, Mara could gain weight and become better
Yaxel Lendebourg was my sleeper going into the season but he played so well that he was practically a media darling by the time we got to the sweet 16
Big fan of Koa Peat of Arizona although I wasn't as sold on his teammate, Brayden Burries
Keaton Wagler didn't knock my socks off either. Reminded me of Anthony Black but Black seems to have become a better NBA player than he was in college so if Wagler follows his scale model, he could be another Black
Braylon Mullins got the Kon Knueppel comparisons but I'm not seeing it yet. Kon was great in last year's tournament and picked up where he left off in the NBA. Moved/moves well without the ball, shoots the lights out and has a great feel for the game. Mullins isn't on that level yet
Thanks. Good info.
