Because of his all around game and D, I honestly believe Mr. Maynor has a brighter NBA future than Mr. Curry!
Because just like Jenny, top-to-bottom he's MFin solid!

VCU RAMS (-3.5) @ DREXEL DRAGONS
Usually at the mid-major level we see quite a few 20 ppg scoring guards, but the majority of them always seem to have horrible A/TO ratios and horrendous shooting percentages. The exception, not named Stephen Curry, is a kid you might remember from the Big Dance two season ago in 6-2 PG Eric Maynor. Check out his redonkulous offensive numbers this year:
Eric Maynor 23 ppg, 6 apg, 2 spg, 48 fg%, 78 ft%, 41 3pt%
Just like it took her awhile to learn how to play pool, its taken the VCU newcomers time to learn to play with Maynor!
While Maynor has seen a hefty turnover the last few years, after a mediocre start to this year, his teammates seem to have found a groove playing alongside the future NBA baller. After losing a tough contest with Vanderbilt to end November, the Rams went on a four-game winning streak before losing a solid battle at Oklahoma 81-70. Since then they’ve gone 2-1 with a disappointing 1-point road loss to Delaware sandwiched between the two wins. As result of the conference loss, and coming off a dominating performance Monday (W 88-59 at UNC-Willmington), I expect Mr. Maynor & Co. to get things back on track against (5-7) Drexel who is only 2-2 at home this year.
Just like these were easy to cover for Jenn, similarly the Drexel guards are easy to cover cause they can't shoot!
Drexel is similar to most average mid-major teams as they are led in scoring by two guards who shoot 36% & 33% from the field and 28% & 17% from behind the arc. In contrast, VCU’s other starting guards are able to let Maynor set them up with pretty looks and open lanes for easy buckets (Joey Rodriguez: 11 ppg, 47 3pt%, 93 ft% - Bradford Burgess: 8 ppg, 49 fg%, 41 3pt%). As for the frontcourt players, I’d consider it a wash…with the exception that the Rams star PG actually gets them involved...VCU RAMS BY 7-11 POINTS

CALIFORNIA BEARS (+1.5) @ WASHINGTON ST. HUSKIES
With the loss of two frontcourt focal points to the NBA (Ryan Anderson-Nets DeVon Hardin-Oklahoma City) and a new coach (former Stanford & GST Warriors headmaster Mike Montgomery), many felt the Bears were in for some PAC-10 struggles this season. But guess what…led by a dynamic backcourt thriving without the bigs, a brilliant teacher/coach of the game giddy to be back at his collegiate roots, and the miraculous return of 2006-07 star 6-6 Theo Robertson (12 ppg, 4 rpg, 48 fg%, 62-3pt%) from hip surgery, the Golden Cubbies have been unbelievable to the tune of 13-2.
Just like Luana's look, the Bears looked focused!
Speaking of that dynamic backcourt, 5-10 So. Jerome Randle (20 ppg, 5 apg, 54 fg%, 56-3pt%) might be the most unheralded point guard in the nation and 6-5 Jr. Patrick Christopher (15 ppg, 48 fg%, 88 ft%, 38-3pt%) has a great overall game and rarely forces a bad shot. And tonight, they face a (8-5) Washington St. squad still recovering from losing the heart-n-soul of their backcourt in Derrick Lowe & Kyle Weaver. The Cougars have lost 5 of 8 since opening the season against mid-major bottom-feeders and still can’t find a consistent rhythm offensively. The one-dimension shooting wizard 6-1 Sr. Taylor Rochestie has suffered the most this season shifting more to a pure-PG role and not having the luxury of camping around the outside (this season: 37 fg%, 29-3pt%). And considering he’s paired with a freshman guard still learning the ropes, I expect Coach Montgomery to attack their guards all night and to neutralize the Cougars low-post option, 6-10 Aaron Baynes (11 ppg, 6 rpg), with a bevy of athletic bigs.…GOLDEN BEARS BY 6-12 POINTS
With a nice lil football game and some ATS action...
