Big 12 Tournament Preview [SBNation.com]

My Big 12 preview is up at SBNation.com.

No, I did not talk extensively about how Rick Barnes is just slow playing his strong hand this year, but you know, and I know, that's what's happening here.

Maybe.

Okay, probably not.

Based on our play in 2010, I am expecting an exit in the 2nd round to Baylor!

So does Damien have a shot in the NBA? I sure hope so. He has put in a lot of effort and I hope he is rewarded for it.

He'll be a first rounder. I'd say in the 20s.

I’m not sure he’ll have a long pro career as he is in between a small forward and a power forward. He lacks skills in both parts that allows him to specialize in one position.

Depends on the team

As a hybrid 3/4, he needs to be on a team with a complementary player at the other forward spot — someone with more length and a better outside shot. Come to think of it, OKC has a player like that!

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
