Bryant #6

[NJCat]

Not bad, having #6 and #12. Hope BMac has his shooting stroke from jump street this season.

6. Bryant McIntosh, Northwestern (6-foot-3, guard, senior)

Overlooked as a recruiting target until late in his senior season at Greensburg High School in Indiana, McIntosh has developed into one of the Big Ten’s premier guards. As a junior, he averaged a team-best 14.8 points for the Wildcats, who reached the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. He also had the Big Ten’s second best assist rate (35.7 percent) and shot 87 percent from the free throw line. As a senior, the challenge for McIntosh will be dealing with expectations. Additionally, McIntosh will need to find a way to improve his efficiency. He shot just 30.7 percent last season on 3s and 44.1 percent on 2s.

Is BMac a NBA draft pick late first rounder? If he continues to improve and has a monster senior year and we make the Sweet 16- I would say YES! He has as much or more potential at the next level as Eshmeyer- and wasn't he an early second-round pick?

Sorry, Bryant is a terrific college guard but he won't sniff the NBA. Doesn't have the physical tools, unlike Esch who was first team All Big 10 and an All American. Last year for example Melo Trimble was head and shoulders better than BM yet didn't get drafted.

I could see BMac having a decent career in Europe, and later dominating at YMCA over 40 ball.

Given that there are 80 starters in the B1G, I'm a little disappointed that only 2 Cats are considered top 25. I hope Vic Law or Derek Pardon or both make the creator of this list see the error of their ways.

14 teams, 5 starters per team, equals 70 starters.....

Whoops, still a little disappointed, right? A slightly above average team should have three in the top 25.

The story said Vic just missed the cut. NU wil have a fine season assuming everyone stays healthy.

B Mac is easily my favorite Cats' basketball player ever and there's not a close second, but he'd get torn apart in the NBA. He wouldn't be able to get a shot off or defend an opposing point guard

I think Vic is going to have a break out season. In fact I think the Cats are going to really dominate some teams this year. I don't see why they won't be a better team than last year, sweet 16 quality season, a 4th or 5th seed.

I would not write him off yet for the NBA.
