Time flies. Not long ago many of us were talking about Jordan Taylor, Tu Holloway, and Perry Jones III as possible candidates for the sport's most prestigious individual award. Here we are 17 weeks later and not one of those three names can be found in our top 20 rankings. Funny how things work.
But with the regular season clearly on the verge of wrapping up, it's important to point out that next Monday will be the 18th and final installment of these power rankings. To celebrate, we're planning a fairly extravagant charting process to examine each player's growth and/or decline throughout the year, in addition to the (duh) grand unveiling of SFBE's official 2011-12 POY selection.
For now, though, let's focus on what the upcoming week has in store. The latest batch of rankings after the jump...
