I'm surprised to see Julius Randle nominated. He's a no-brainer talent-wise, but I thought McD's required the participants to have played HS ball this season and he hasn't been able to due to injury. Including him is a good result, but shows either that I don't understand their rules or they don't follow them.

There was a lot of handwringing and complaining that Randle deserved it but wouldn't be included on Twitter a month or so ago. Perhaps just a false rumor.

Maybe I'm over-confident, but I think all three make it (and Randle). Frankamp's team USA background and scoring numbers will sway enough voters.

I feel like Selden is the only lock & one of Greene and Conner will make it.

That is a sadly legitimate point. Netween the two, they have a PG (Britt), SG (Jones), 2 SFs (Parker, Ojeleye), PF (Hicks), and C (Meeks). Add in UK, and you have the other team with a PG (Harrison), 2 SGs (Harrison, Young), SF (Willis), PF (Lee), and C (Johnson). That's a starting five and sixth man. On to the backups.

More seriously, NC might not get all three, but I bet Duke does. Willis might miss for UK. I haven't checked everyone's eligibility.

And Thomas Robinson is marginally better than both Wear twins...combined...
