DeAndre Ayton - Arizona
Marvin Bagley III - Duke

Mikal Bridges - Villanova
Miles Bridges - Michigan State
Jalen Brunson - Villanova

Marcus Foster - Creighton
Devonte' Graham - Kansas
Tra Holder - Arizona State

Gotta think it's a two-horse race at this point between Trae Young and Jalen Brunson.

Amazing what UVA is doing without any top 20 players. Lock up COY for Tony Bennett.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

It's a 1 horse race and that horse leads by about 6 furlongs.

 

[Mark Gastineau]

Am I the only one who is getting kind of sick about all of this Trae Young hype?

It’s quite tough (and dumb) for a player on an extremely low scoring and great defensive team. Wilkins is amazing, but will never get the recognition he deserves

 

[Hacksaw Jim]

Miles Bridges isn’t even the best player on his own team

 

[mtronce]

My ever so slightly biased pick is Brunson

Going to finish his career like Danny Manning 0-fer Hilton!

Still sticking with this position?

We both like how Danny Manning finished his career..

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Yeah. Why wouldn't I?

 

[ExitFlagger]

I'd say Bagley's chances took a hit given the fact that Duke is undefeated without him, including a win over Michigan St and a blowout of V Tech.

Take Young off Oklahoma and they lose to any decent team by 25.

Brunson might be most deserving at this point. Ayton has looked pretty awesome when I've seen him too.

If anyone can steal the award away from Trae its Deandre Ayton. I cant imagine anyone else can take it from him though, even with how bad Oklahoma as a team has been.

 

[KisteK]

Ayton is smooth.

Ayton is a stud.

Funny you mention that. I watched the KU-OU National Championship Game in my Army Unit Barracks in Korea, and I was the ONLY person rooting for Kansas that night. Great year for the Big 8, no thanks to Iowa State who lost in the first round. lol.

How much does "what he meant to the team" play into this or is just about personal achievement?
