| 1 | 1 (--) | Jimmer Fredette-BYU | Drawing more contact now than he has all year. 26-27 FTs over last 2 gms. |
| 2 | 2 (--) | Jared Sullinger-Ohio St. | Legit Q: If OSU wins out, does Sully deserve the award on principle? |
| 3 | 3 (--) | Kemba Walker-UConn | No. 3 may be too generous. Hasn't played like a POY since early Jan. |
| 4 | 4 (--) | Nolan Smith-Duke |
Dished 5+ asts in 19 of 23 gms. Nice all-around: 21pts-4.8rbs-1.5stls. |
| 5 | 5 (--) | Jordan Hamilton-Texas |
Hit 4+ treys on eight occasions this yr. Runaway Big 12 MVP? |
| 6 | 8 (+2) | Derrick Williams-Arizona | 69.0 effective FG%, 71.6 true shooting%. Ranks 1st in NCAA in both. |
| 7 | 6 (-1) | Kawhi Leonard-SDSU |
Deserves it, but probably won't come close to First Team AA status. |
| 8 | 9 (+1) | JaJuan Johnson-Purdue | King of def. efficiency in the Big Ten. Called for 1.8 fouls/40 min. |
| 9 | 7 (-2) | Terrence Jones-Kentucky | King of off. efficiency in the SEC. Draws 6.9 fouls/40 min. |

| 13 | 13 (--) | Rick Jackson-Syracuse |
Very impressive: Needs 22 blocks to reach 250 for his career. |
| 14 | 17 (+3) | Marshon Brooks-Providence | Blew up in L to G'Town (43pts, 10rebs). 3rd in NCAA in scoring (24.1). |

| 16 | 20 (+4) | Ken. Faried-Morehead St. |
Rebounding like a madman (17.0/gm) during six-game stretch. |
| 17 | NR | Jordan Taylor-Wisconsin |
Highest ORating in the country among 24%+ possession players. |
| 18 | 16 (-2) | Tu Holloway-Xavier | Big week ahead: Showcase game at Georgia on Tue, then Duquesne. |
| 19 | 14 (-5) | E'Twaun Moore-Purdue |
More bad games than good ones as of late. Johnson is the star now. |
| 20 | 15 (-5) | Isaiah Thomas-Washington | His POY campaign was short-lived. 17 asts vs. 16 TOs in last 3 gms. |

Legit Q: If OSU wins out, does Sully deserve the award on principle?
I think yes despite how awesome Fredette has been.
