Possibly in part because he played only 11.6 minutes last season, ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s Brandon Randolph doesn't appear on anybody's preseason all-American lists nor on CBS' list of the in college basketball.
But ESPN's draft analysts ranked him No. 9 among shooting guard prospects in college basketball.
Two former UA recruiting targets, Bol Bol of Oregon (center) and Nassir Little of North Carolina (small forward), were ranked No. 1 at their positions.
As a whole, the Pac-12 was only lightly represented in ESPN's rankings. USC's Kevin Porter was ranked the No. 4 shooting guard, Oregon's Louis King was ranked the No. 7 small forward, UCLA's Kris Wilkes the No. 8 small forward and Oregon's Kenny Wooten the No. 9 center.

The NCAA has a new box score format this season (as shown in the Red-Blue box score that is attached). Ken Pomeroy says he likes the fouls drawn and blocks against but cautions against plus-minus number that sometimes need context.
I'm just realizing this is the new standard box score format. Pros: Blocks against and fouls drawn are available. Cons: Inappropriate judgments about +/- numbers are coming to game recaps and other commentary.
