2. Oregon Ducks

The 2nd team in my PAC 12 power rankings is the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks are probably the most talented team in the league and have had a ton of transfers but have also had some injures including guard Will Richardson and Center N’Faly Dante.

Chris Duarte leads the Ducks with 18.4 points a game. Eugene Omoruyi a transfer from Rutgers has been really good for them averaging 16.9 points per game. Other players in double figures are Eric Williams a transfer from Duquesne is averaging 12.4 points per game and the St Johns transfer LJ Figueroa is adding 10.1 points per game.

Other contributors are Amauri Hardy a transfer guard from UNLV that scores 5.5 points per game. Chandler Lawson a forward adds 5.3 points per game and Aaron Estrada a transfer guard from St Peters.

Right now, Oregon is the 20th ranked team in Kenpom they are a very athletic team that is well-coached. Dana Altman does a great job with them each year and every year you see them peaking in February or March.

I think will all the new players and injury to Richardson you can expect their best basketball is still to come. Right now, I think I am higher on them than most people, but I have them 2nd.
