8. Dawson Huff-Trending Neutral-This relationship took off like wild fire after $hot quoted Ace Ventura for the, what-4 millionth time? Little did he know that a movie quote that has not been relevant for atleast ten years (Since, you know, we all grew up) would have Sabin on the floor laughing, leaving Dawson not knowing what to do because he made someone laugh for the first time. The two guys have continued to grow their relationship on deep basketball conversation and just overall disinterest in anything else. This relationship, that NO ONE else is jealous of, has the upside to really grow moving forward. Who cares.
9. Wes Murray-Trending Up-Sabin called this guy in PCTI1 a "Cold-Hearted Killer" in reference to his backbreaking shots that he made a living on hitting. Seeing as that Murray is probably the only overall cool guy that is actually likable in this thing, you would think he would be higher. However, boasting about the amount of times he ate Chick Fil-A over the past six months (Which no one blames him for) while Sabin was taking wheat grass shots for breakfast, lunch and dinner just does not help your case when trying to get in Sabin's world. Regardless of which, lucky for Murray Sabin is high on him going into PCTI3.
10. Anthony Hopkins-Trending Down-I can't tell you how many times I've heard the words "I love Hops" out of Sabin's mouth ever since Hops moved to Dallas on a Friday night, and showed up to Sabin's 6:30am Saturday hoop game the follow morning. It was a match made in heaven. However, it's starting to appear that the two have begun to develop a bit of an on-court rivalry, to already go with their off-court rivalry of who is the better organizer of pick up games. The two will always be fans of each other, but one can't help but to wonder if this time next year you will be looking at a 15 next to Hopkins name. He also needs to hit the gym a little harder and cool out on the fast food before Sabin can show him anymore love.
11. Michael Orr-Trending Up-This pick is actually no fun for me to write because frankly Sabin has said nothing but "I love Smo." He has not given me much to work with, however I blame that completely on Smo not providing him enough material to break down. All you can really say about the guy is that he plays hard, is a great teammate, and was extremely active on defense last year... All things Sabin values. The big question on this selection is going to be how much of a hard on Sabin gets when he sees that Smo has packed on 25lbs of muscle this offseason. I would almost call this choice incomplete.
12. Joe Thompson-Trending DOWN-Talk about a relationship that started at the top of the mountain and has nosedived ever since. Although friends, these two guys have a love-hate brother like relationship, that when the cameras are rolling... It's always on the HATE side. After almost coming to blows in PCTI2, I can't help but to think an actual brawl would have been the best thing for these two guys. With their size, style, skin color and good looks being almost identical, the rivalry between the two of these guys contines to organically grow. Sabin claims he doesn't take too kindly to Joe's Hollywood, camera obsessed style. The funny part about that is that outside of Joe, who is in the camera most? SABIN.
13. Brian Eskildsen-Trending Down-The respect and love for this dude could not have been any higher going into PCTI2. ESK was Sabin's biggest fan coming out of his disappointing PCTI1 performance, and immediately traded for him after the PCTI2 draft. Sabin was ecstatic about the opportunity to play with the high IQ/MVP, and responded by bulking up and letting Brian know he was willing to play anywhere he needed. When Sabin came out of the PCTI2 gates doing his own thing, Brian immediately took matters into his own hands, causing an immediate rift between the two. Although a good relationship off the court, until the two can have a good showing on the court, I don't expect this relationship to prosper anytime soon. ESK probably dropped 11 slots from where he would have been last year.. Talk about having a bad offseason.
14. "Big" Brent Carney-Nosediving-Carney was the early favorite to secure the #1 overall choice for his second time, and now should put his foot in his mouth because that's what ruined it. Despite always giving his best effort on the court, BBC spent the last few months being a funny boy talking about all the bad food he puts in his body, the fact that he does not work out, and how he is going to dominate PCTI3. Little did he know everytime he opened his big mouth, Sabin was re-adjusting his big board. Sabin's thinking was simply this-While BBC is out grabbing some McDonalds and having a Baby Ruth, Bruiser is doing kettlebell and rope swings trying to prepare as best he can to contribute in PCTI3. Big Brent's mouth made Sabin's decision easy, and nothing short of a great showing at PCTI3 will take him out of the doghouse.
15-Josh Pitto "Trending Nowhere To Go But Up"-This rivalry has been extremely entertaining once everyone got over the initial uncomfort of the open dialogue about the two hating each other. However, if these two bicker on the court at PCTI3, I plan on smacking both of them.
The idea from this post actually came from Scott Donley.
But I wrote it.
