The Portsmouth Standouts: 5 Players That Impressed the Most--
Scouting The Mid-Majors
With the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament being officially finished, here is our list of the top five mid-major players (no particular order) who performed exceptionally well, and increased their draft stock:
...
Nick Minnerath (Detroit, 6’9, 215lbs, Forward)-
Minnerath had a great senior season at Detroit where he averaged 14.6 ppg, and 5.9 rebs. However due to having junior guard, Ray McCallum Jr., the 2012-13 Horizon League Player of the Year, alongside him on the court, Minnerath did not necessarily get the exposure he deserved. After his performance at Portsmouth though, expect him to start getting some buzz. Minnerath showed off his pretty jump-shot, and averaged 13.3 ppg in the process. He also did fairly well on the boards, earning 4.3 rpg.

Rush The Court
Last season the Missouri Valley Conference was one of the best conferences in the country, but after it was announced that Creighton would be leaving we knew they were set for a downgrade. Yesterday we found out it would be a big downgrade as it was announced that Loyola (IL) would be replacing Creighton. Nothing against Loyola, which appears to be making attempts at improving its program by upgrading its facilities and hiring new coaches (unfortunately we are more familiar with their women’s coach than their men’s coach), but going from one of the top “mid-major” teams in the country to a 5-11 Horizon League team is a huge drop-off. Now the conference still has its fair share of heavyweights, but with this type of replacement we would not be surprised to see some other conferences try to poach some of the Missouri Valley Conference’s top programs.

Norris Cole and Ray Allen each scored 11 for the Heat, and Haslem finished with 10 points and 15 rebounds. Wade missed his fifth straight game and seventh in the past nine while dealing with ankle and knee issues, and Bosh sat out his second straight contest, though this time it was flu-like symptoms that left him sidelined, not the sore knee that kept him from participating in Saturday's game against Philadelphia.
