Nice to see Rabb ranked that high. Not so nice to see Oregon with 4 players and 3 in the top 25.

No love for Jabari .

Time to prove the pundits wrong.

Jordan Matthews at number 44 seems like the reach to me . I do believe he belongs in the group of the top 100 but not at 44. Rabb at #1!

82. Bryce Alford UCLA Bruins
2015-16 Stats: 16.1 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 5.2 apg

Despite having five players averaging double-digit points per game, the UCLA Bruins were one of the more disappointing teams in 2015-16. Senior guard Bryce Alford is back, and will be looking to flip the script in 2016-17. With a high-profile recruiting class coming to campus, Alford may not score as much as he did last year, but he will be a more effective player, making him one of the top players in the country.

80. Bennie Boatwright USC Trojans
2015-16 Stats: 11.5 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 1.0 apg

Following the 2015-16 season, the vast majority of they key contributors for the Trojans left the program for different reasons. Guard Bennie Boatwright is back, and that is huge for USC. Boatwright has been tearing it up in the Drew League this off-season, which is a great sign for USC fans moving forwards. He will form a formidable back court tandem with Jordan McLaughlin, who will appear later in the list.

79. Przemek Karnowski Gonzaga Bulldogs
2015-16 Stats: 7.3 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.0 apg

In 2015-16, big man Przemek Karnowski was limited to just six games before a season-ending back injury. He was granted a medical hardship waiver, and is ready to make up for lost time in 2016-17. With the front court losing both Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabonis, Karnowski will have an impact from day one this year. If healthy, don't be surprised if Karnowski averages close to a double-double per game.

65. Josh Hawkinson Washington State Cougars
2015-16 Stats: 15.4 ppg, 11.1 rpg, 1.6 apg, 1.1 bpg

Over the past two seasons at Washington State, Hawkinson has averaged a double-double per season. Last season, as a junior, he showed flashes of being able to stretch the floor with the addition of a three point jumper. Hawkinson is in a similar position to that of Tim Kempton, Jr., where if he continues to develop his jump shot, he will garner serious looks from NBA teams this year.

55. Jordan Bell Oregon Ducks
2015-16 Stats: 7.0 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 1.3 apg, 1.8 bpg

Jordan Bell is the first of four Oregon players in the top 55 of the list, which says something about the team that Dana Altman will have in Eugene this season. As a sophomore, he saw his minutes decrease slightly, but his points per game increased from 5.1 as a freshman to 7.0 last year. Both Dwayne Benjamin and Elgin Cook have graduated, which will send more minutes Bell's way. Alongside fellow forward Chris Boucher, the Ducks have one of the top defensive front courts in the Pac-12.Look for Bell to average close to 11 points and 7 rebounds a game, along with 2 blocks per contest.

54. Allonzo Trier Arizona Wildcats
2015-16 Stats: 14.8 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 1.1 apg

Allonzo Trier was the best freshman for the Arizona Wildcats last season, and is the top returning scorer from 2015-16. Ryan Anderson, Gabe York, and Kaleb Tarczewski are both gone, but Sean Miller has once again reloaded with more freshmen talent. The back court will get a little crowded this season, with the return of Ray Smith alongside the plethora of incoming players. Trier's production may dip slightly, but he has the shooting prowess and speed to remain one of the team's best players.

51. Austin Nichols Virginia Cavaliers
2014-15 Stats: 13.3 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 3.4 bpg (with Memphis)

What Virginia usually lacks on the recruiting trail in terms of freshmen (top-10 class this year), they make up for on the transfer market. Following the 2014-15 season, Tony Bennett landed one of the top transfers, in forward Austin Nichols. He led the Memphis Tigers in scoring and blocks, and was highly coveted on the transfer market. Nichols adds size to the forward rotation for the Cavaliers in 2016-17, and will draw some of the attention away from star guard London Perrantes.

44. Jordan Mathews Gonzaga Bulldogs
2015-16 Stats: 13.5 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 1.3 apg

Jordan Mathews caught people by surprise when he declared his intentions to transfer from California. It didn't take him long to find his new home at Gonzaga. With both Wiltjer and Sabonis gone, Mathews can step in and contribute right away. Expect a stat line similar to his 2015-16 totals.

34. Jordan McLaughlin USC Trojans
2015-16 Stats: 13.4 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 4.7 apg, 1.6 spg

The return of Jordan McLaughlin was crucial for the Trojans, who lost both Nikola Jovanovic and Julian Jacobs early to the NBA Draft, and Katin Reinhardt due to transfer. To think that McLaughlin is only a junior in 2016-17 is scary, because he still has room to grow and he's already a top-level guard in the Pac-12.

32. Damyean Dotson Houston Cougars
2015-16 Stats: 13.9 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 1.3 apg

After seeing his minutes and production dip as a sophomore at Oregon, Dotson decided to transfer, He landed in Houston, and quickly regained the form he had as a freshman. He was third on the team in scoring in 2015-16, but is poised for a big jump this season, especially with the Cougars on the rise as a team. At 6'5", Dotson has the size to battle in the paint for rebounds, while also possessing the shooting ability to score from anywhere on the floor. Don't be surprised to see Dotson on the All-AAC First Team at year's end.

22. Chris Boucher Oregon Ducks
2015-16 Stats: 12.1 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 2.9 bpg

Last season, Chris Boucher led the Pac-12 with 2.9 blocks per contest, despite only playing 25.8 minutes per contest. Expect Boucher to play a bigger role in the Ducks' rotation this season, which means even more blocks for the talented big man. He's a strong third option on offense behind Dillon Brooks and Tyler Dorsey.

20. Nigel Williams-Goss Gonzaga Bulldogs
2014-15 Stats: 15.6 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 5.9 apg (with Washington)

The Gonzaga Bulldogs will rely heavily on transfers this season, with Jordan Mathews (#44) being joined by Williams-Goss and Johnathan Williams. At Washinton, Williams-Goss led the Huskies in scoring as a sophomore, scoring 15.6 points per contest. He is durable (36.8 mpg in 2014-15), and can put the ball in the basket. But, his high basketball IQ allows him to be crafty with the ball, and he uses his quickness and court vision to create something out of nothing.

15. Caleb Swanigan Purdue Boilermakers
2015-16 Stats: 10.2 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 1.8 apg

Following the 2015-16 season, Swanigan declared for the 2016 NBA Draft. After going through the pre-draft process, Swanigan wisely decided to return to school for another year. While his defense needs some work, the potential is sky-high for the second-year big man. A double-double per game average is what many people are expecting out of Swanigan, who has First Team All-Big Ten potential this season.

14. Tyler Dorsey Oregon Ducks
2015-16 Stats: 13.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 2.0 apg

As a freshman in 2015-16, Dorsey put up big numbers and quickly emerged as a budding star in the Pac-12. He would have been ranked higher if it wasn't for his struggles in the NCAA Tournament, where he shot a combined 5-of-19 against Duke and Oklahoma.

11. London Perrantes Virginia Cavaliers
2015-16 Stats: 11.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 4.4 apg, 1.1 spg

With Malcolm Brogdon having graduated, the back court is now run by London Perrantes. His numbers won't blow you away, but he's excellent at what he does. He can score a bit, he can rebound, and he's an excellent three point shooter (48.8% last season). On the defensive end of the floor, he puts pressure on opposing guards, disrupting the flow of his opponents. With the addition of Austin Nichols to the mix, Perrantes should flourish as a senior. His one-assist performance in the Elite Eight against Syracuse last season is nothing but a distant memory.

10. Edmond Sumner Xavier Musketeers
2015-16 Stats: 11.0 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 3.6 apg, 1.3 spg

After a strong freshman campaign in 2015-16, which saw him finish second on the team in scoring, guard Edmond Sumner was named to the Big East All-Freshman Team. He is a dynamic guard who is quick and can get into the lane and draw contact. Sumner could make a run at Big East Player of the Year this season, but he needs to continue to develop his jump shot. He's a little streaky with his jumper, but everything else is there. Regardless, he' got a bright future ahead of him.

9. Tyler Lydon Syracuse Orange
2015-16 Stats: 10.1 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 1.1 apg, 1.8 bpg

During the 2016 NCAA Tournament, nobody made more of a statement than Syracuse forward Tyler Lydon. Over the Orange's five games, he recorded 20 blocks and asserted himself as one of the premier shot blockers in the country. The 2016-17 season will be a good indication of where is game is at, but based on how he ended last season, he showed he's one of the top players in the country. Let's see if he lives up to the hype.


#8: Melo Trimble Maryland Terrapins (Source: G Fiume/Maryland Terrapins/Getty Images)

8. Melo Trimble Maryland Terrapins
2015-16 Stats: 14.8 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 4.9 apg

Melo Trimble is back for Mark Turgeon in a Maryland uniform, which instantly gives the Terrapins a chance in any game this season. But, Trimble will be without the likes of Jake Layman, Diamond Stone, Rasheed Sulaimon, and Robert Carter from last year's team. He's widely considered as one of the best point guards in the country, and will need to bounce back from his struggles as a sophomore to lead the Terrapins. He's one of the best in the pick-and-roll, so chances are that he'll bounce back just fine.

7. Justin Jackson North Carolina Tar Heels
2015-16 Stats: 12.2 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 2.8 apg

Justin Jackson is one of the most talented players in the country who has yet to officially become a bonafide 'star'. In 2016-17, he will get his chance, with both Brice Johnson and Marcus Paige gone from North Carolina. Jackson is known as a top-tier defender, but he will need to take his offensive game up another notch for the Tar Heels in 2016-17. As his career has progressed so far, there's little to no doubt that Jackson will rise to the occasion and become the leader of North Carolina that Coach Williams will be looking for.

6. Thomas Bryant Indiana Hoosiers
2015-16 Stats: 11.9 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 0.9 bpg

Bryant is another Indiana forward who saw limited action in 2015-16, thus not allowing fans to see his full potential. Bryant decided early in the off-season to return to school for his sophomore season, and instantly became a top candidate for Big Ten Player of the Year. At 6'10" and 245 pounds, the former top-20 recruit is efficient from both the floor (68.3% FG) and the free throw line (70.6% FT). If he can improve on the defensive end, and become more of an interior presence, his game will go to another level.

5. Monte Morris Iowa State Cyclones
2015-16 Stats: 13.8 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 6.9 apg, 1.8 spg

With the departures of Georges Niang and Abdel Nader, senior point guard Monte Morris is now the big man on campus. He has the offensive game to be the team's leader in points per game, but has the court vision and basketball IQ to hurt you in many other ways. Morris will be a front-runner for the Big 12 Player of the Year award.


#4: Josh Hart Villanova Wildcats

4. Josh Hart Villanova Wildcats
2015-16 Stats: 15.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 1.9 apg, 1.2 spg

The scoring leader for the Wildcats last season opted for the NBA Draft following the 2015-16 season. In the end, he chose to return to school, and instantly made Villanova a threat to repeat as National Champions. With both Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu having graduated, this is now Hart's team. He's the early favourite for Big East Player of the Year.

3. Dillon Brooks Oregon Ducks
2015-16 Stats: 16.7 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 3.1 apg, 1.1 spg

The Canadian has been a star since he stepped foot on Oregon's campus. Last season, Brooks led the Ducks in points and assists per game, en route to helping the team secure a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. As a junior in 2016-17, Brooks is a favourite to take home the Pac-12 Player of the Year award. With the core of the Ducks back, he'll have plenty of support.

2. Grayson Allen Duke Blue Devils
2015-16 Stats: 21.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 3.5 apg, 1.3 spg

Duke's newest 'villain' is one of the nation's top players. He went from small minutes as a freshman to the nation's most improved player as a sophomore. He can shoot from all over the floor, and can hurt you with his quickness. Allen will be the 'veteran' on a young but talented Duke team who are the early favourites to win the 2017 NCAA Championship.

1. Ivan Rabb California Golden Bears
2015-16 Stats: 12.5 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 1.2 bpg

Sophomore Ivan Rabb is the top returning player in the country, and is in a position to make a huge jump from last season. California's top three scorers from the 2015-16 season are all gone, leaving Rabb to carry the torch. When Rabb opted to return to school as opposed to going pro, predictions had started for the 6'11" big man. A Pac-12 Player of the Year award could very well be in his future.
