Alabama
While Alabama isn’t as prolific as it was last year from a record standpoint, this is still a deep and athletic team no one wants to see in the postseason. Alabama is buoyed by its guard play. The three-headed monster in the starting line up (Jahvon Quinerly, Jaden Shackelford, Keon Ellis) combine for an average of 43 PPG, 8 APG, 4 SPG, and 15 RPG.
Freshman JD Davison (posted above) is a dynamo — particularly in the open court. While the Crimson Tide does have a plethora of big men on the roster, none have completely replaced the brilliance brought last year by Herbert Jones. Still, this is a team who can beat anyone — especially when they’re hitting their threes.
