Jalen at #22. Purvis gets snubbed again.

The 50 Best Players in College Basketball For 2016-2017

 

[Huskyforlife]

That list is cancer

 

[UConnTrumbull]

I think Skal was ranked like #4 on this list last year.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Mikal Bridges??? Wow

 

[Burnsbros23]

Ranks Dennis Smith 36 cause he's coming off an ACL. But has Harry Giles 1 who's coming off two ACLs

 

[aceboon]

really doesn't get much worse than Jason McIntyre

 

[navery12]

Figured it was probably McIntyre so I didn't even click the link. Muted that guy a long time ago, he's the worst

 

[TyroneShoo]

Bridges is the guy on Nova that the NBA guys are talking about. His development was crucial to them on the tail end of last year

 

[KemBuckets21]

1/3 pro prospects, 1/3 player ability/skill, 1/3 how vital a player is to teams success.

on the pro prospect thing, maybe he isn't NBA material, but he can play pro somewhere.

ability/skill-rodney is a hound on d, developed a somewhat consistent 3 pointer, and is a solid slasher but an admittedly inconsistent finisher. I would still say that the weight of this category should be in rodneys favor.

on how vital a guy is to teams success should be what puts rodney on this list alone even if you're harsh in judging the other criteria. There are not 50 players, and even more including honorable mentions, that are more vital to their teams success and you would be hard pressed to find 50 flat out better players.

Maybe RP was snubbed
Maybe JA is too high or too low
These lists are so ridiculous - you could ask 20 separate "experts" and in most years they won't agree on the top 10
If things like this fire RP up - I'm all for it

^This. I'm expecting a big year from him.

Love the guy. He certainly has bled blue for 3 years now.

I think he will flourish with Hamilton gone. It's his team, and I think he will be up to the challenge.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Bridges is ok. He's long. Is he even going to start? Brunson booth Hart Jenkins need a big. Maybe he starts over booth.

 

[jibsey]

Rodney is productive and deserves on that account alone.

 

[TyroneShoo]

Booth Brunson hart Jenkins and Reynolds likely starters. Bridges, Spellman paschal and divincenzo get most run off the bench. (Paschal is going to be very tough. A-10 rookie of year as frosh. Sat out last yr and transformed his body. Wright loves him)

 

[Burnsbros23]

So u have a guy who doesn't start on Villanova in the top 50. My point exactly.

 

[Matt1010]

I'll be surprised if JA is a top 25 player in the country

 

[Yankees32123]

I'll be surprised if JA is a top 25 player in the country

Honestly, I won't be. I think Jalen can be one of the best players in the country.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Honestly, I won't be. I think Jalen can be one of the best players in the country.

I think that he could be a top player, but would guess that he will need a third year to reach that level.
