In the responses so far, I see Seton Hall as a common "biggest drop" pick and the overwhelmingly popular "most overrated" pick. So my question is, why? Did the rest of the league really see them as that much of a 1 man team last year? They return 4 of 5 starters (all juniors) from a team that finished 3rd and won the BET last year. So what are the general thoughts on them? Why are they so overrated (at around 4th in the league, which seemed to be the consensus from the board's standings predictions)?
I think they're being picked as overrated most often by default. Who else is there to pick, really? Most fans would agree the top 3 in some order is Nova, X, CU, so no one is really picking any of those three. Although, I've seen CU picked twice. Most projections have Seton Hall finishing 4th (some 3rd.) It's hard to be overrated when you're not picked in the top half, so there's not much to choose from. IMO, I think they'll finish no higher than 4 and no lower than 6. Whitehead could be a headache at times, but he also bailed them out so often. Is Carrington going to be the go to guy now? Is Delgado going to finally mature? Do they have any 3 PT shooting? And, Willard is still the coach.
