Scouting report

Signature strength

Shooting everywhere you look. Ryan Kalkbrenner headlines a group that makes you guard all 94 feet, where one slow closeout is a wide-open three.

Fatal flaw

The talent is not the question, the resume is. Ryan Kalkbrenner leads a group with the least tournament-tested production, and elimination basketball asks things a regular season never does.
