Revised college hoops preseason Top 25

1. North Carolina – The Tar Heels could have as many as four first-round NBA draft picks in their lineup with Harrison Barnes, John Henson, James McAdoo and Tyler Zeller. Then there’s point guard Kendall Marshall, who will likely be among the country’s leaders in assists. Roy Williams hasn’t been this excited about a team since the fall of 2001, when his Kansas squad featured Drew Gooden, Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison.
2. Kentucky – Unlike the past two years, the latest version of the Wildcats has a decent amount of experience to blend with its youth. Terrence Jones was one of the top two players on last year’s Final Four squad while Darius Miller and Doron Lamb played key roles, as well. The biggest stars, however, will probably be a pair of freshmen. Forward Anthony Davis and point guard Marquis Teague are both projected to be top 10 picks in next summer’s NBA draft.
