Best College Freshman you've watched?

Her name was Elaine. UConn '78. She came in as a 10 and left as at least an 11.

Iverson, Durant, then Carmelo. In that order for me. Remember how close Durant was to becoming a Huskie?

Paige

POY

 

[GoConn]

Zion Williamson is #1 for me

 

[James]

Kevin Durant, Carmelo, Oden (Yes, I'll admit I was in awe of dominance even with the hand injury. He was a monster), Anthony Davis, Derrick Rose, and Iverson.

Personally Fav probably Kemba Walker and his coming out party vs Mizzou. We should have won in 09...legit sliding doors moment because who knows if he sticks around until '11 if that happened.

The difference between Jordan and a lot of other guys that’ve been mentioned is that Jordan wasn’t the best player on his Carolina team as a freshman. Worthy was. Everybody remembers Jordan’s jumper but Worthy had like 30 that game.

Good point, and when you think about it, where does that team rank with the all time greats, AND the team they beat for the championship (Patrick Ewing, Sleepy Floyd, Anthony Jones). Jordan led UNC in rebounding in that game, not bad for a 6’6” freshman.
