Comparing PCTI Teams to NCAA Teams

Let me preface this with the fact I don’t watch a lot of college basketball. It is terrible. When I do, it’s usually to watch a guy that will be playing in the NBA the following year. With that said, I compared our two teams to the two teams in the Championship Game on Monday night. As you read this, remember that I have only watched a couple of games this year and been in the tournament. I assume most of you are the same. Enjoy!

Villanova – Team Koala

Wilson – Kris Jenkins – A guard/forward hybrid who can knock down the 3. Both create a lot of trouble for the other team as they are tough to match up with. Neither are going to dominate on D but will be able to hold their own.

BC – Daniel Ochefu – Best big man for Villanova like BC is the best big man for Team Koala. Both will be leaders on both ends of the floor. I think Ochefu is the key to Nova to have a shot at winning Monday night. I also think BC is going to be the key for our team.

Koala – Josh Hart – Hart is the top scorer for Villanova and I think Beas will be our leading scorer. Shoots the ball very well and takes the ball to the hoop consistently. Both have potential to have monster games.

Dan the MAN – Ryan Arcidiacono – The leader for the Koalas gets the comparison to the heart of Villanova. Arch plays lock down D and is the distributor for the Cats like DK.

TP – Darryl Reynolds – A big man who rebounds and defends for the Wildcats is the role that TP will be playing. If TP can be as efficient as Reynolds it would be a huge boost towards a victory for our team.

AHop – Mikal Bridges – Long player that defends multiple positions. Not a great shooter but finds ways to score.

Godon - Jalen Brunson – A good role player that can be a spark for his team. Brunson is a team player that brings a lot to both ends of the floor but won’t get the attention that his teammates get. Gritty player and Rainbow could fill that role perfectly

UNC – Comeback Kids

Sabin – Justin Jackson – He draws this comparison because he is a big guard that is an excellent shooter but also a good finisher. Sabin, like Jackson, brings a complete game to his team. Rebounds, defends, and can create on offense.

Doctor – Marcus Paige – A high scoring guy that likes to handle the basketball. Deep range for both. Both defend well. Most the offense of UNC starts with Paige, will the same be true for the Comeback Kids?

Abe – Brice Johnson – One of the best players in the NCAA and the best player in PCTI. While Johnson doesn’t have the bulk that Abe does, both are good scorers and both rebound well. When these guys are on, they don’t lose very often.

Bruiser – Kennedy Meeks – A big body that takes up space and can score down low when he gets position. An above average rebounder that can defend down low. Excel when they are burying their defenders.

Spotlight – Joel Berry II – One of the smaller players on the court, but contributes a lot to his team. Both move very well without the ball. Both are knock down 3 point shooters. Not the biggest star on the team, but could be the pivotal player.

Donley – Isaiah Hicks – Very much like his bash bro Bruiser, a big body that can score down low. Hicks and Donley are a little more athletic and versatile than Meeks and Bruise. Both are tough to keep off the glass.

Wes – Luke Maye – Could this be Wes in the Box’s stat line for PCTI7?
