Three Thoughts

• This is awesome – Marcus Smart is the current favorite for Defensive Player of the Year at +150. Smart would be the first guard to win it since Gary Payton in 1996.

• This Keylan Boone piece dives into the process of entering the portal and what it’s like for these players to go somewhere else

• As the Final Four approaches – it’s pretty tough to pass up the most memorable practice in Final Four history

Two Quotes
