CBSSports has an article up on the Top 100 players in college basketball. So who from NorCal made it?
* 24. Reeves Nelson (junior forward, UCLA). It's not pretty, but Nelson is one of the toughest players in the country and a great rebounder.
* 36. Orlando Johnson (senior guard, UC-Santa Barbara). Stud of a player who I'm really glad got this high of a ranking. Johnson's the real deal. Can be a future pro, and he deserves a moment in the 2012 NCAA tournament.
* 46. Josiah Turner (freshman guard, Arizona). Sean Miller likely to hand Turner the ball from Day 1. Talented floor leader with the size, strength, athleticism and talent to be a star in Tucson.
* 49. Jabari Brown (freshman guard, Oregon). Could wind up being Dana Altman's leading scorer. Strong, athletic and can fill it up.
* 58. Drew Gordon (senior forward, New Mexico). Former UCLA transfer quietly averaged a double-double last year; has more offensive duties now.
* 84. Damian Lillard (junior guard, Weber State). Quintessential small-league guy who can run roughshod over said league. Lillard's going to make it rain -- nay, I say storm -- in the Big Sky this season.
* 85. Jared Cunningham (junior guard, Oregon State). Stupidly crazy athleticism. Jared, you craft a worthwhile jump shot into your game, and you're in the first-team Pac-12 conversation.
