CBB Uniforms (1988-89 to Present): 14 Seeds

We now continue with RBP's ranking of the top 64 uniforms from the 1988-89 season to the present. For more on that process, read the introduction to the original post. The 14 seeds are:

56) Oklahoma State (Tony Allen): I prefer "OSU" on the black version to "STATE" on the white version.





55) Baylor (Curtis Jerrells): Big fan of the bold colors, but these unis are too busy to be rated higher.





54) Georgetown (Greg Monroe):Note the kente-cloth trim, which was a much more prominent feature during the Allen Iverson era.





53) Arizona State (James Harden):The tights are not part of the uniform.

Pac-10 Honors & Awards

With Arizona bowing out of the NCAAs just shy of the Final Four after a valiant fight against King Kemba and UConn, the Pac-10 season is officially in the books. That means it's time for RBP to take a look back at the conference's best and brightest. Honors and awards take into account the entirety of the season, rather than just Pac-10 conference play.

Defensive Player of the Year: Jorge Gutierrez, California
Gutierrez, who averaged 1.6 steals per game and is perhaps the nation's peskiest on-ball defender, takes top honors in a conference that has so many talented stoppers that Venoy Overton didn't even make the cut for the conference's all-defensive team.

Freshman of the Year: Allen Crabbe, California
Crabbe, a well-rounded 6-4 two-guard who was ranked 69th nationally by rivals.com after his senior year of high school, averaged 13.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest for the Golden Bears.

Coach of the Year: Sean Miller, Arizona
In his second year at the helm, Miller led the Wildcats, unranked in the preseason, to 30 wins, the regular season Pac-10 title, a runner-up finish in the conference tourney, and an Elite Eight appearance in which Arizona fell to UConn by a basket.

And now for some regionally appropriate hip-hop.

Pac-10 Review

Arizona: Considering the mess that Lute Olson and Kevin O'Neill left behind, Russ Pennell has done an outstanding job with the Wildcats. While Arizona may be tempted to try to reel in a big-name coach to take over for Pennell at the end of the season, the administration would be wise to give Pennell a look. Unlike recent Wildcats' squads, Pennell's club is playing something resembling hard-nosed basketball. And he has the Wildcats poised for a NCAA berth, despite their nonexistent bench. While Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill get all the attention, Nic Wise is equally important. The 5-10 junior point guard is Zona's on-court leader and averages an impressive 14.8 points and 4.7 assists per contests. Expect one of the country's hottest teams to end up with between a six and eight seed.

Arizona State: It is absolutely ridiculous that James Harden isn't getting more consideration for national player of the year. And while Harden has been sensational, his supporting cast has been much better than advertised. Look for the Sun Devils to end up with around a five seed, but don't expect this team to make a deep run in the tourney. They simply have no post depth to speak of. Someone needs to put out a missing person report for Eric Boateng. The junior big man, a former Duke Blue Devil and McDonald's All-American, has been a complete no-show this year (averaging just 2 points and 2 boards per game).

California: Like so many teams in the Pac-10, Cal's thin bench will likely doom the Golden Bears' chances of making a deep tourney run. However, this team has an extremely talented starting lineup and one of the best perimeter threesomes in the country. Point guard Jerome Randle leads the Bears in points and assists per contest. Physically imposing wings Patrick Christopher (6-5 215) and Theo Robertson (6-6 225) can fill it up – 40% and 54% from behind the arc respectively. Curiously, Cal swept Pac-10 leader Washington but was swept by perennial conference doormat Oregon State (though the Beavers are much improved). I expect the Bears to pick up a six or seven seed.

Oregon: Disastrous season in Eugene. In a Pac-10 that is not nearly as competitive as it was last year, the Ducks have managed a single conference win. After watching Oregon beat Kansas State in early December, I never would have managed how poorly this team would play going forward. Yes, the Ducks lost a ton of talent from last year's team, but Oregon's roster is hardly devoid of skilled athletes. Ernie Kent has had some nice seasons at Oregon, but this year's campaign, which includes a 14-game losing streak, may have been the proverbial last straw. On the bright side, Michael Dunigan, the Ducks' 6-10 freshman McDonald's All-American, has a ton of talent. If he stays in school and develops, he could be special. Oh, and Joevan Catron is the homeless man's DeJuan Blair.

Oregon State: That the Beavers are competitive for the first time in recent memory is a testament to first-year Oregon State coach Craig Robinson, who happens to be President Barack Obama's brother-in-law. In fact, the Beavers rise from the trash heap has been so unexpected that I am (seriously) tempted to believe this is all part of some grand conspiracy to make it look as if anything and everything associated with President Obama turns to gold. And I can't imagine the whole “I hang with Barack” thing hurts with the recruits. Things really may be turning around at Gary Payton University.

Stanford: It seems like the college basketball world has eagerly been awaiting Johnny Dawkins' coaching debut for years. The conventional wisdom was that Coach K's long-time assistant was destined for success. Well, I guess this is what we've been waiting for – ninth place in the Pac-10, the only team in the conference that has lost to Oregon, and seriously in jeopardy of finishing .500 on the season. And the record doesn't even tell the whole story, since the Cardinal racked up a 11-0 record against an embarrassingly soft non-conference schedule. Dawkins' defenders may be tempted to argue that, with the Lopez twins early departure to the Association, the cupboard was bare. Hardly. Anthony Goods, Lawrence Hill, Landry Fields, Josh Owens, and Micah Johnson are all solid players. The Dawkins era in Palo Alto is still young, but year one has been a major disappointment.

UCLA: Last year's Bruins squad was a thing of beauty to watch. Russell Westbrook was perhaps the nation's premiere perimeter defender. Kevin Love's arsenal of post moves brought to mind the great Kevin McHale. And the team chemistry displayed by Ben Howland's club was nothing short of amazing. This year's Bruins – not so much. Despite what some experts have said, they still defend the perimeter extremely well. And they might actually be more dangerous from outside. Unfortunately, though, UCLA has no post presence. Sure, Alfred Aboya plays hard, but the next post move he executes will be his first. The Bruins brought in five highly-touted freshmen, and the reviews have been mixed. Jrue Holiday has been solid but not spectacular. Malcom Lee and Jerime Anderson have largely been non-factors on a Bruins team with an excess of perimeter talent. Center J'Mison Morgan has been especially disappointing, as his services in the post are needed in the worst way. And while I think Holiday will end up being the best of the bunch, I really like Drew Gordon's game. His numbers haven't been extraordinary, but he's a fluid athlete with a great feel for the game. While I wouldn't be surprised if Howland's team makes some noise in March, look for the Bruins' streak of three straight trips to the Final Four to come to an end.

USC: When Tim Floyd was at Iowa State, I considered him one of the most underrated talents in the country. Now, I don't know what to think. Are we supposed to take Tim Floyd's program seriously? O.J. Mayo was an incredible talent, but he pretty much highjacked the Trojans program for a season, using it as his personal audition for the Association. This year, Floyd brings in Percy Miller. Who is Percy Miller you ask? Percy Miller is rapper Lil' Romeo, Master P's son. Are you kidding me? Despite the ridiculous circumstances surrounding this program, I have to say that I really like USC's top six players. Dwight Lewis is a scorer. DeMar DeRozan started out slowly, but he's showing signs of what made him one of the nation's hottest recruits. Taj Gibson is an enforcer that leaves his heart on the court every night. And I might like Daniel Hackett the most of all. The 6-5 205-pound junior point guard has a big body, is selfless (almost to a fault), and is a fantastic leader (despite his recent post-game confrontation with Lewis). If he can cut down on his turnovers, he has a nice chance of contributing at the next level. Ultimately, I think the Trojans are going to be playing in the NIT, which is a shame because they should be dancing.

Washington: One of Lorenzo Romar's better coaching jobs. He's gotten a lot out of a moderately talented team. Freshman point guard Isaiah Thomas is a winner. Quincy Pondexter and Justin Dentmon are not pretty to watch, but they get the job done. Depending on what the Huskies do in the conference tournament, a four seed is a real possibility (although a five seed may be more realistic).

Washington State: There's not a lot of talent on the Cougars' roster, but this season has still been a little disappointing for Tony Bennett's senior-laden squad. While Taylor Rochestie, Aron Baynes, Caleb Forrest, and Daven Harmeling will be lost to graduation, Wazzu has some talented youngsters on its roster and will add a recruiting class the likes of which the good folks of Pullman have never seen.

Player of the Year: James Harden, Arizona State
Runner-up: Jordan Hill, Arizona
With my apologies to Kentucky's Jodie Meeks, Harden gets my vote for best two-guard in the country. On offense, he's virtually unstoppable. He's not quite on Meeks' level as a shooter, but his expansive offensive repertoire is unparalleled. He also knows how to fill up a stat sheet – 21.2 points, 4.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per contest. The only knock on Harden is that, on occasion, he will take a play off on the defensive end. Hill is a beast. Averaging 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game, Hill looks like a can't miss prospect. His impact on the often lackadaisical Wildcats cannot be overstated.

Coach of the Year: Mike Montgomery, California
Runner-up: Lorenzo Romar, Washington
Montgomery, Romar, Russ Pennell, and Craig Robinson have all turned in very impressive coaching jobs this year. Montgomery has to be in the conversation for national coach of the year. If Arizona played as well as they have in the Pac-10 during the non-conference schedule, Pennell may have taken the prize. I can find nothing wrong with Robinson's efforts, but I'm not a fan of rewarding a .500 season, regardless of how dismal the last decade has been in Corvallis.

Freshman of the Year: Isaiah Thomas, Washington
Runner-up: Klay Thompson, Washington State
Thomas wins in a landslide. While Memphis' Tyreke Evans and Oklahoma's Willie Warren are the top two freshmen in the country, Washington's 5-8 170-pound point guard is making a case for the three spot. The fact that he hasn't gotten more attention is just further evidence of East Coast bias. Runner-up could just as easily have gone to Jrue Holiday (having trouble scoring lately) or DeMar DeRozan (having trouble playing basketball early on), but Thompson, son of former NBAer Mychal Thompson, has been consistently effective throughout the year.

Defensive Player of the Year: Taj Gibson, USC
Runner-up: Darren Collison, UCLA
While Gibson may not be in the same league as Hasheem Thabeet or Jarvis Varnado in terms of altering shots or dissuading would-be penetrators from entering the paint, he's an excellent shot blocker in his own right (2.7 swats per game). Playing on a USC team that doesn't exactly exert maximum effort on the less glamorous end of the floor, you can see the frustration on the hardworking Gibson's face. The Trojans' pivot would be a perfect fit in the Big Ten. Collison is the ringleader of the Bruins' defense, and there may not be a peskier defender in the country.

1st Team All-Pac-10
Jerome Randle, California
Darren Collison, UCLA
James Harden, Arizona State
Chase Budinger, Arizona
Jordan Hill, Arizona
Budinger may not play hard-nosed basketball, but it's just impossible to ignore his athletic ability. The guy can create his own shot at will. He may be the most impressive white athlete I've seen at the college level. Last year everybody went crazy for West Virginia's Joe “Vanilla Sky” Alexander for being the white guy that can dunk. Then, Alexander wowed everyone with his “athletic ability” at the NBA combine. Budinger may not be able bench press nearly as much as Alexander and his vertical, while impressive, may not be quite Vanilla Sky-esque, but Budinger is the superior athlete. There is a fluidity (and a coordination) to his game that Alexander could never hope to emulate. That being said, watching Budinger can be infuriating, as he seems to coast on far too many possessions. And for that reason, it pains me to give Budinger the first team nod over workhorse Jon Brockman.

2nd Team All-Pac-10
Isaiah Thomas, Washington
Nic Wise, Arizona
Calvin Haynes, Oregon State
Jon Brockman, Washington
Taj Gibson, USC
OK, let me be the first to admit that I am not at all comfortable having three Arizona Wildcats on the all-conference teams. That being said, this just goes to show how important these three players are to the team's success. Wise edges out UCLA's Josh Shipp, Stanford's Anthony Goods, and USC's Dwight Lewis. After all of his injury issues, it's nice to see that Shipp will close out his career playing at a high level. Brockman, Washington's senior power forward, has put together a great career but has been largely ignored for his efforts. He's quietly averaged a double-double the last two seasons (and was 0.4 rebounds per game away from averaging a double-double during his sophomore campaign). With Blake Griffin, Tyler Hansbrough, DeJuan Blair, Luke Harangody, Jordan Hill, and Patrick Patterson hogging the headlines, the 6-7 255-pound Brockman has toiled in relative obscurity for the conference-leading Huskies.

All-Pac-10 Defensive Team
Darren Collison, UCLA
Seth Tarver, Oregon State
Jon Brockman, Washington
Jordan Hill, Arizona
Taj Gibson, USC
While it has improved over the past decade, the defense is still lacking in the Pac-10. The team numbers may look better with the Ben Howlands and Tony Bennetts of the world slowing things down and cranking up the defensive intensity, but offense is still king out west. Tarver just edges out UCLA freshman Jrue Holiday for the last spot on the team. The beefy Brockman isn't going to block many shots, but his position defense is impeccable (and no one is going to outmuscle him on the blocks).

2009 NBA Draft Prospectus

The following projections represent not who the NBA teams will likely pick but, rather, who they should select. Draft order is based on NBA records as of Jan 16. This exercise assumes all players are eligible to be drafted, regardless of intent to enter the draft.

1 Thunder: Blake Griffin, Oklahoma
Soph 6-10 240 PF
The Oklahoma City native is a perfect fit for the newly-minted Thunder. An explosive, crowd-pleasing big man who is a beast on the glass and plays physical defense, Griffin has an NBA body and possesses elite athleticism. His post presence would open things up for superstar-in-the-making Kevin Durant.

2 Wizards: James Harden, Arizona State
Soph 6-4 220 OG
Harden possesses an extremely mature offensive repertoire. Reminds me of a more powerful but not as smooth Brandon Roy. Plays longer than his height suggests. Would be an excellent fit with the Wizards regardless of what they do with Gilbert Arenas.

3 Clippers: Ricky Rubio, International
N/A 6-3 180 PG
Chris Paul sings his praises, and that's just about good enough for me. Has excelled playing against more mature European players for years. Would give the Clippers a marquee attraction and help the fanbase move past the heartbreak of Shaun Livingston's unfulfilled potential. Plus, a backcourt of Rubio and Gordon looks quite nice moving forward. The Baron Davis experiment has been a failure thus far, and, while B-Diddy may find success elsewhere, there's no point in delaying the parties' inevitable separation.

4 Kings: Jeff Teague, Wake Forest
Soph 6-2 175 PG
An absolute competitor. Equally adept at driving to the hoop and scoring from long-range. Reminds me of Gilbert Arenas and not just because he wears number zero in Agent Zero's honor. Beno Udrih's not going to cut it as a starting point guard in the Association, and Teague's the type of player that raises the level of play of those around him.

5 Warriors: Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina
Sr 6-8 245 PF
Surprised? While his vertical might be lacking, Pyscho T runs the floor well, is extremely strong, and has better lateral quickness than he gets credit for. Plus, if you haven't noticed, he has quite the motor. The all-time leading scorer in Tar Heels history may not be an All-Star caliber talent, but he's going to be effective. As Nellie-ball is more often than not small ball, Hansbrough would be an interesting fit in the Golden State system.

6 Grizzlies: Al-Farouq Aminu, Wake Forest
Fr 6-8 210 SF
Long-armed and uber-talented, Aminu also has an extremely high basketball I.Q. and a natural feel for the game. There's some Lamar Odom to Aminu's game.

7 Timberwolves: Greg Monroe, Georgetown
Fr 6-10 230 PF
Like Aminu, there is a preternatural ease to Monroe's game. And while Monroe isn't as athletic as Aminu, he's bigger and even more cerebral. One would be hard-pressed to find a post player more adept at handling the rock and finding the open man. Would provide Minnesota with a nice alternative to their present behemoths of the post, Al Jefferson and Kevin Love.

8 Pacers: Jordan Hill, Arizona
Jr 6-9 235 PF
Hill's game is still developing, but scout's can't deny his potential. A long athlete, who's not afraid to bang, Hill is a rotation post player at worst.

9 Bobcats: Hasheem Thabeet, Connecticut
Jr 7-3 260 C
Should be higher but has a tendency to dominate against the weak and disappear against the talented. Still, his shot-blocking abilities warrant a Top 10 pick. At times, Thabeet looks very quick to the hoop but has yet to exhibit any semblance of consistency on the offensive end of the floor. With Thabeet and Okafor patrolling the paint, the lane would be a perilous place to venture for Charlotte opponents.

10 Raptors: Tyreke Evans, Memphis
Fr 6-6 220 OG
Yes, Evans has shot selection issues, and he can come across as a gunner. Still, despite his detractors, it is difficult to deny his ability to impose his will on the game. A top-shelf athlete who is quick with the ball in his hands, Evans would add much needed athleticism to a Raptors club full of shooters.

11 Knicks: Chase Budinger, Arizona
Jr 6-7 220 SF
After the Gallinari disaster, New York fans may not be thrilled with the selection of another white small forward -- particularly one who doesn't play defense and doesn't seem to be able to will his team to victory. But Budinger can score buckets in bunches (in a variety of ways), and it's this talent that will allow him to thrive in D'Antoni's Seven Seconds or Less system.

12 Bulls: Damion James, Texas
Jr 6-7 225 SF
The rugged small forward would be a nice fit on any team. Solid but not spectacular in every facet of the game. There are much flashier players but not many that are as effective or as versatile.

13 Bucks: Patrick Patterson, Kentucky
Soph 6-8 235 PF
Speaking of rugged, Patterson is that rare post player who is gifted athletically (though 2PAT is not a top-tier athlete) and yet has a blue-collar approach to the game. Patterson in Milwaukee just makes sense. At worst, a rotation post-player but potentially an excellent fit on a small-forward heavy and soft Bucks team.

14 Mavericks: DaJuan Summers, Georgetown
Jr 6-8 225 SF
An adequate defender and rebounder, Summers really excels on the offensive end of the floor as a versatile scorer. Coming out of the Hoyas' Princeton offense, it's difficult to predict what Summers' ultimate output will be. Still, the guy's a winner, and his presence would allow Dallas to move Josh Howard.

15 76ers: Stephen Curry, Davidson
Jr 6-3 180 PG
Not entirely sure Curry is a sure-thing at the next level, but the kid keeps proving his detractors wrong. Quick release and extreme range will minimize the ability of defenders to take advantage of his small stature. Would be a nice fit with a Sixers team in need of outside shooting.

16 Nets: Derrick Brown, Xavier
Jr 6-8 225 SF
Extremely athletic and talented small forward with room for growth. Yet another in a long line of underrated Xavier forwards (Tyrone Hill, Aaron Williams, Brian Grant, James Posey, David West). The only knock on Brown is a question concerning his focus.

17 Timberwolves: Patrick Mills, St. Mary's
Soph 5-11 180 PG
If you haven't seen Mills play, you're missing out. Shades of Tony Parker. Waterbug quick and great at scoring in the paint despite his lack of size. Has proven himself on the international level playing for the Australian national team so it's not as if Mills has just been beating up on WCC foes.

18 Jazz: Gani Lawal, Georgia Tech
Soph 6-9 235 PF
Long and active big man cleans the glass and has a developing post game. With the impending departure of Carlos Boozer, Lawal would be a nice fit as Paul Milsap's backup.

19 Pistons: Willie Warren, Oklahoma
Fr 6-4 210 PG
A physically imposing guard, Warren already has a polished game. Still, if Warren learns to use his body in a Deron Williams-type fashion, the sky is the limit. Joe Dumars likes big combo guards who know how to win, and Warren fits the bill.

20 Kings: Dionte Christmas, Temple
Sr 6-5 190 OG
Christmas reminds of a less athletic, less versatile Paul Pierce. However, he's a better shooter at this point in his career than Pierce was. Like Pierce, Christmas has mastered the jab step, the most underrated tool in the scorer's bag of tricks. The Kings could use a true power forward here, but there aren't any available that warrant this high a pick.

21 Hawks: Lester Hudson, Tennessee-Martin
Sr 6-2 190 PG
The 24-year old point guard knows how to fill up a stat sheet (only member of the D-I quadruple double club, although the feat occurred against a non-D-I opponent). An excellent rebounder and defender, Hudson needs to work on his decision-making. That being said, he's a scorer and plays longer than his measurements suggest. The Hawks need a true point guard (since Mike Bibby stopped playing the point during about his fourth NBA season), and Hudson would be a nice pickup.

22 Suns: Jodie Meeks, Kentucky
Jr 6-4 210 OG
A pure scorer, Meeks has incredible range and a natural stroke. While he's a little short-limbed for a two guard at the next level and lacks the lateral quickness needed to be a superior defender, Meeks has more athleticism than your average pure shooter, has a NBA-ready build, and is fast with the ball in his hands. Would probably be even more effective in D'Antoni's frenetic system as a sort of Quentin Richardson-type three-point specialist but would also provide a boost to Terry Porter's sometimes stagnant halfcourt set.

23 Trailblazers: Ty Lawson, North Carolina
Jr 6-0 195 PG
Will be interesting to see how Lawson adjusts outside of the Tar Heels secondary break pace. However, Lawson is used to facilitating a talented cast on the offensive end. He's virtually impossible to turn over and rarely makes poor decisions. An improved outside shot and excellent speed/quickness means he will be effective on the offensive end. Real question is his ability to guard larger guards (witness Jeff Teague's manhandling of Lawson this season).

24 Hornets: Gerald Henderson, Duke
Jr 6-4 210 OG
Top-level athlete that hasn't really clicked in the Duke system. That being said, he's had a really nice collegiate career, plays excellent defense, rebounds well, and is a solid passer. The NBA game will allow him to take advantage of his athleticism in one-on-one situations. Hornets have lacked athleticism at the two since the dawn of time, so Henderson is a nice fit. May never be anything more than a rotation player, but I think Henderson has upside.

25 Thunder: Tyler Smith, Tennessee
Jr 6-7 220 SF
See entry for Damion James.

26 Thunder: B.J. Mullens, Ohio State
Fr 7-0 275 C
Years away from being able to contribute in the Association (which means that historically he's exactly what the Supersonics/Thunder is/are looking for). Possibly even another year or two away from being a solid college player. Still, it's hard to ignore a 7-footer with athleticism and coordination. If the Thunder take Blake Griffin with the first pick and Tyler Smith at 25, they can reach with Mullens here.

27 Timberwolves: Jrue Holiday, UCLA
Fr 6-3 205 PG
Holiday should stay in school for another year, but, if he comes out, he'd be a nice pickup at this point in the draft. Has a nice feel to his game and plays longer than his measurements. Appears to have potential to be a lockdown defender. Just a matter of time before Holiday is able to contribute at the next level.

28 Magic: Brandon Jennings, International
N/A 6-1 170 PG
Jennings doesn't appear to have exactly wowed the European scene. However, the bouncy Jennings has excellent playmaking skills and is committed to being a pass-first point guard. The Magic have lingering doubts as to whether Jameer Nelson is the long-term answer at the point, so they'd love to see Jennings this late in the draft.

29 Cavaliers: Luke Harangody, Notre Dame
Jr 6-7 245 PF
Like Hansbrough, Harangody gets no respect from scouts. While he may not be a star at the next level, Harangody has great skills, plays hard, and has underrated athleticism. Lacking an impressive vertical, Harangody is a bowling ball in the paint and possesses a decent long-range game. Would be a nice fit with a Cavs team that always has a second power forward on the floor in Lebron James. Possible that Harangody will end up playing some three in the Association.

30 Lakers: DeJuan Blair, Pittsburgh
Soph 6-6 280 PF
A monster on the boards with a developing face-up game. One of those guys who is going to add wins to your team. Barkley-like without the bounce. Much like Jason Maxiell, his wingspan means he plays longer than 6-6.
