My main objection would be Portis. Seems like you could really find someone better to put there, including Niang. IDK, what do you guys think?

NOTE: apologies if I missed this posted elsewhere. Feel free to merge.

Portis is a stud, not surprised to see him there

My thinking was, Niang outplayed him in our matchup, and his numbers come from playing in the SEC. Maybe I haven't watched enough Arkansas basketball? I know he's a good player. Would he be an All-American if he was on a B12 team this year?
 
0 Big 12 players. Too much beating each other up.

He'd be the best 5 man in the conference. I've watched them a few times this year, they're a lot of fun to watch.

Pretty good selections, but I'd have Georges in there over Tuttle based on the competion both faced.
