These are the 100 (and one) best players in college basketball. Without further ado, here it is, our 2015-16 edition. We're going to be SO RIGHT about a lot of these guys and SO WRONG about a few. You're gonna love some of these picks and hate some others. That's at the heart of how this list is made. You're picking the players with the most talent. Think of it like this: When you play pickup basketball, and you pick teams, you're going with the guys as soon as possible that you think are the best. We're not looking ahead to what they'll be in the NBA or anything like that. How we see them now how we think they project and compare to all other players for the entire season. This ranking is about basic talent and ability at the college level. This is different from, say, our All-American teams (which are about value and overall numbers - on winning teams - as anything else). We all have a couple of guys we fought for near the end, but you just run out of spots.Īs a reminder, this list isn't about MVPs, MOPs or overall value to a team. It's a fun grind, and we fully admit there are players who didn't make this list that were very hard to leave off. Gary Parrish, Sam Vecenie and I took the better part of a week to whittle down more than 4,500 Division I players to basically the top 2.2 percent of that pool. 1 Kris Dunn: His decision to return to Providence This go-round, in the spirit of the Top 25 (and one) - and because it's so hard to settle on the final players for this list - we're going with the Top 100 (and one) players in the game. Our favorite single piece of preseason content every year is compiling our list of the most talented players in college basketball.
