| Rank | Last (+/-) | Player-School | Notes |
| 1 | 1 (--) | Jared Sullinger-Ohio St. | Scoring 18 and 10 and only using 17 possessions/game. Ridiculous. |
| 2 | 2 (--) | Kemba Walker-UConn | No longer the NCAA scoring leader. Big week ahead ('Nova/Tenn.). |
| 3 | 4 (+1) | Jimmer Fredette-BYU | His 47-point performance against Utah was epic. On pace for 100 treys. |
| 4 | 3 (-1) | Nolan Smith-Duke |
Taking a ton of shots right now. Averaging 19 FGA/gm over his last four. |
| 5 | 5 (--) | Kawhi Leonard-SDSU | We saw this coming: 17ppg & 15 rpg last week. Meets Fredette on 1/26. |
| 6 | 6 (--) | Terrence Jones-Kentucky |
Fun fact: Is 20 for 27 from the FT line in his last 53 minutes of action. |
| 7 | 8 (+1) | Jordan Hamilton-Texas |
Has Kansas, Tex. A&M, Okie St. and Mizzou in a 10-day span. Good luck. |
| 8 | 10 (+2) | Rick Jackson-Syracuse | With Joseph hurt, might be time for a bigger O-role. Still @ 11.7 rpg. |
| 9 | 13 (+4) | Derrick Williams-Arizona | Basically the best thing you aren't watching right now. 31-10 vs. ASU. |
| 10 | 11 (+1) | Ken. Faried-Morehead. St. |
#'s starting to look an awful lot like last year's. Ouch for 8 TOs last game. |
| 11 | 7 (-4) | Austin Freeman-G'Town | A measly 9 points/gm during G'Towns recent three game losing streak. |
| 12 | 12 (--) | LaceDarius Dunn-Baylor | Attempting 33.1% of Baylor's shots. Can't say he isn't getting the looks. |
| 13 | 15 (+2) | JaJuan Johnson-Purdue | Starting to post dominant #'s as of late. 23ppg & 8.6 rpg since Dec. 11th. |
| 14 | 17 (+3) | Klay Thompson-Wash. St. | Can reach 30 against anyone in the Pac-10. Also 5.2 rpg and 4.0 apg. |
| 15 | 14 (-1) | Kyle Singler-Duke |
Season-high five TOs in loss to FSU. Rebounding #'s going back up. |
| 16 | 9 (-7) | E'Twaun Moore-Purdue | Where did E'Twaun go? Last four games: 26.3% FGs & 34 total points. |
| 17 | 18 (+1) | Jon Leuer-Wisconsin | Struggled early vs. MSU but was huge in win over Illinois. 19.2 ppg. |
| 18 | NR | Jordan Williams-Maryland | Making Faried look human. A near-lock for the ACC rebounding title. |
| 19 | 20 (+1) | Alec Burks-Colorado | 3rd in NCAA in KenPom's ORating for max-usage players = Very nice. |
| 20 | 16 (-4) | Demetri McCamey-Illinois | 2.47 assist/turnover ratio and 52.6% 3P clip are keeping him alive. |

Isaiah Thomas
surprised Thomas didn’t crack the top 20 this week especially with Austin Freeman hanging around in mediocrity. 16.5ppg/5.5apg/46FG% including 27&13 last night.. get this dude some love haha!
Just wondering...
Why did Reggie Jackson come off the board?
Is it more because of the team’s letdown in some games because his stats have remained stellar.
It’s more about other guys stepping up, really. He had strong consideration this week, but I opted to keep McCamey on the board and reward Jordan Williams for all those rebounds.
Honestly anywhere from 17-25 is pretty much interchangeable at this point if you ask me. Guys like Marcus Denmon, Williams, Marcus Morris, Shurna, and Jackson could be anywhere in that range.
I think over the next few weeks we’ll see a few players (Freeman, R.Jackson, Faried, E.Moore) fall out of the race entirely. I haven’t been impressed with any of those four guys as of late, so a major shakeup is definitely brewing.
Week 7's picture is apt... it's all Fredette.
Freddette performance was UNREAL this week (again). CSU is a top 50 RPI team. BYU played on the road and Fredette dropped 42 points mostly driving to the hoop but draining ridiculous 3’s and shooting 90 percent from the FT line too. He’s averaging 35.5 pts a game on the road. UNBELIEVABLE. He leads Kemba by almost 2 pts a game and has a far better shooting percentage. Anymore games like this and the POY thing will be a done deal. SDSU at BYU this Wednesday will be telling: 2 top-ten teams with POY candidates… we’ll see. Should be fun!
