An Unnecessarily Exhaustive Guide To The 2010/11 NCAA Tournament, Part 1: Southwestern Region
[...] The team's best athlete, forward, defender and prospect is 6'7 Swedish national team mainstay, Jeffery Taylor. Taylor is one of the best defenders in the nation; his combination of of size, strength, speed, athleticism, footwork and smarts make him able to lock down any other player in the nation. His offensive is also developing - it's not without it's mistakes, but Taylor runs the court, is improving his ability to get to the basket, has a much improved jumpshot, and has good passing vision. Also in the forward mix is 6'8 junior Lance Goulbourne, who brings with him his prolific rebounding rate, grabbing more than 7 a game in only 24 minutes a contest. Indeed, he has more rebounds than points. Goulbourne is a good leaper, an occasional jumpshooter and a rebounding specialist who ensures that the Commodores are more than stacked at the forward spots. (And that's before even getting to freshman Rod Odom, largely just a three point shooter at the moment, but a better fourth forward than most teams have.)
