I have finally returned (EVIL LAUGHTER). While my computer may have been temporarily out of commission, we have made a LOT of progress and will be putting these out at a relatively faster rate now. Anyways, let's get in to these storylines for Draft Class 4. This class will be out pretty quickly (probably by next Tuesday) so here we go guys!

The best players in the country pick the best player in the country
It’s pretty common and expected for a player to feel that he is the best player out there. Last week however, we had the opportunity to ask some of the top players in the country who they thought the best players in the country were (excluding themselves). We got some pretty interesting answers.
Metrick McGee (St. John’s Guard): I’m going to have to go with Ment Powers (Florida Forward) out of Florida. He is big, skilled and has a championship under his belt. He may not put up the big numbers but what he does on such a talented team is impressive.
Ment Powers (Florida Forward): I can only pick the guy that has been feeding me the ball for the last couple of years J’Vonte Creecy (Florida Guard). There is no one in the country that I would rather have running this offense and I really believe he has the chance to bring home player of the year honors.
Russell Lawson (Georgia Tech Guard): Dylan Turner (Washington Forward) is just ridiculous. He has such knowledge for the game and he can do just about everything on the court. He is great on both sides of the ball.
Blake Cassell (Marquette Guard): That’s a tough one but if I had to chose someone other than myself I would have to go with Russell Lawson (Georgia Tech Guard). He might be a bit limited on the defensive end but he is the best shooter that I have seen in my life and that includes NBA players.
Dylan Turner: If you want me to be completely honest, I think that Russell Lawson (Georgia Tech Guard) should have won player of the year last year over Dion Tinsley so by default I would have to go with Russell Lawson.
Elijah Harper (Texas Forward): There are a ton of good players out there but I can only feel confident selecting someone that I have been on the court with and seen first hand. Sadiq Jones (Oklahoma Guard) has killed us in the past and I think he is the best pure talent in the country.
J’vonte Creecy (Florida Guard): I would love to pick my teammate Ment Powers but that wouldn’t be any fun. I think I’m going to have to stay east coast though and say Russell Lawson (Georgia Tech Guard). When I watch him play I feel like every shot that he throws up is going in.
Zachary Grinnage (Louisville Guard): I think that the player that everyone seems to forget is Justin Tryon (Arizona Forward). He is in my opinion, one of the best all around players in the nation on one of the best teams.
Justin Tryon (Arizona Forward): I hate playing against Dylan Turner (Washington Forward) but have nothing but respect for him. If I am not alone to select myself, Dylan Turner is my pick without hesitation.
