Who's The Best In College Basketball
This years freshmen class could go down as one of the best ever if not the best ever. College basketball is back exciting this year because of the widespread of talent throughout the nation.
So far Lonzo Ball, De'Aaron Fox and Markelle Fultz are the three most talked about players in the nation. All three should be top 3-5 NBA Draft prospects at the end of the season. Ironically, they all play point guard.
Watching Ball and Fox go at it last Saturday was great to watch. We won't see Fox and Fultz play against each other unless in tournament play, but we will see Ball and Fultz twice in conference play (Pac-12).
If you ask me to rank the three of them right now here it is:
1. Freshman Lonzo Ball point guard UCLA- Lonzo is carrying UCLA and his play on the court is special.
Stats:
14.6 points per game
5 rebounds per game
9.3 assists per game
NBA comparison: Jason Kidd
2. Freshman De'Aaron Fox point guard Kentucky- De'Aaron Fox is a left-handed point guard that can get anywhere offensively and is a great defender.
Stats:
15.9 points per game
5.3 rebounds per game
7.8 assists per game
NBA comparison: John Wall and Rajon Rondo
3. Freshman Markelle Fultz point guard Washington- Fultz is not being discussed as much as Ball and Fox, but he's definitely up there with the other two.
Stats:
22.7 points per game
6.7 rebounds per game
6.6 assists per game
NBA comparison: Penny Hardaway and Brandon Roy
