NBA Draft: Saturday’s College Roundup
Saturday had a loaded slate of college basketball games, many of which included 2023 NBA Draft hopefuls looking to raise their stock.
Here were some of the top performances from Saturday slate of college games:
Brandon Miller, Alabama
Miller was the top performer on Saturday, pouring on 36 points on 11-for-22 shooting. The fourth-ranked Crimson Tide couldn’t hang on versus Gonzaga, but Miller had a great bounce-back game after a lackluster performance versus Jarace Walker and Houston.
Miller continued to light it up from beyond the arc, shooting 6-for-11 from three to increase his season percentage, which is already well above 40 percent.
Miller also came down with six rebounds, dished one assists and nabbed one steal.
Gradey Dick, Kansas
The Kansas Jayhawks continue to be a buzzsaw, defeating the No. 14 Indiana Hoosier by 22 points on Saturday.
Dick continues to be a large part of that, pouring on 20 points on 8-for-12 shooting. Likely the best shooter in the class, he hit four three pointers in the win.
He also grabbed six rebounds and five steals.
Jarace Walker, Houston
Jarace Walker continues to do all the little things for Houston, but saw one of his best offensive performances on Saturday.
He scored 17 points on 6-for-11 shooting, hitting two of his three 3-point attempts, and tacked on seven rebouns, four assists and one steal and block apiece.
Walker won’t be the flashiest pick come draft night 2023, but his impact for the Cougars has been undeniable.
Brian Sensabaugh, Ohio State
A more under-the-radar one-and-done coming into the year, Sensabaugh has quickly added his name to the list.
He’s been a premier scorer for the Buckeyes this season and continued that trend Saturday, adding 22 points on 9-for-17 shooting. He grabbed eight rebounds, dished out three assists and nabbed one steal, as well.
Jordan Walsh, Arkansas
Likely the third Razorback off the board in the 2023 Draft, Walsh is not to be forgotten. He's playing alongside two more lead-esque players at Arkansas, but he has plenty of traits that can net him success in the NBA.
Those were on full display Saturday as Walsh finished with 18 points on perfect shooting. He also grabbed four steals.
Other notables:
Jett Howard — 19 points on 50 percent shooting
Taylor Hendricks — 11 points, 1 block
