TOP 30 NCAA BASKETBALL PLAYERS

1. Blake Griffin, PF, Oklahoma -- Clearly the Nation's best player. Can, Should and Will lead OK to a Final Four. (Pictured Right)

2. Sam Young, SF, Pittsburgh -- Young is the most fluid scorer in the NCAA's and has a supporting cast that makes him shine.

3. Hasheem Thabeet, C, Connecticut -- One of NCAA history's best shot blockers, UCONN's tourney fate rests in Thabeet's large hands.

4. DeJuan Blair, C, Pittsburgh -- Co-Big East POY with Thabeet confirms my thoughts that Blair is a legit baller. He'll body NBA bodies soon.

5. Tyler Hansbrough, PF, North Carolina -- Four straight first team All-ACC, enough said there. Can he cement his legacy with a National Title?

6. Ty Lawson, PG, North Carolina -- ACC POY Lawson's control of UNC's offense may be the reason the Tar Heels cut down the nets in Detroit. UNC boasts for the first time ever two ACC POY's on the floor of the same team.

7. Stephen Curry, G, Davidson -- It's kinda pathetic that Davidson couldn't recruit another player to help Curry get back to the dance. (Pictured Right)

8. Sherron Collins, G, Kansas -- Collins has been the reason Kansas hasn't had a down year after winning it all. Repeat isn't out of the question.

9. Gerald Henderson, F, Duke -- Duke's best player needs to step up Grant Hill style in order for Duke to make a push.

10. Jeff Teague, PG, Wake Forest -- The Demon Deacons have a lot of talent, Teague is the leader.

11. Jordan Hill, PF, Arizona -- Hill is slotted as the No. 3 overall draft pick on DraftExpress.com right now.

12. Terrence Williams, F, Louisville -- Williams has Pitino's Cardinals in a position to make yet another Final Four run. (Pictured Right)

13. Kyle Singler, SF, Duke -- Singler might need to shoot the lights out if Duke has championship aspirations.

14. Toney Douglas, PG, FSU -- Douglas is a big reason why Florida State is in contention for a 4 seed, he's a scoring machine.

15. Cole Aldrich, C, Kansas -- I'm biased towards this big man because he was born in the city I spend my work day.

16. Chase Budinger, F, Arizona -- Budinger can use the Pac-10 tourney to make a case he's worthy of a spot on an NBA roster.

17. Marcus Thornton, G, LSU -- Thornton is a relative unknown in the basketball universe, but his court vision has LSU tourney bound.

18. Earl Clark, PF, Louisville -- Clark is touted as a top 10 NBA draft pick next year.

19. Wayne Ellington, G, North Carolina -- The third UNC player on this list is just as valuable as the first two.

20. Tyreke Evans, PG, Memphis -- Evans is doing his best Rose impression as Memphis eye's a No. 1 seed. (Pictured Right)

21. Willie Warren, SG, Oklahoma -- Warren's play this year in the Big XII could propel him into the first round of the NBA draft.

22. Jeff Adrien, PF, Connecticut -- As much as everyone's attention is on Thabeet, Adrien might be UCONN's most well rounded player.

23. Levance Fields, PG, Pittsburgh -- Fields doesn't shy away from making the tough basket, he's a fierce competitor.

24. Al-Farouq Aminu, SF, Wake Forest -- This quiet frosh needs to get loud, he's projected as a top 10 pick, WF needs him to play like one.

25. Darren Collison, SG, UCLA -- If UCLA wants to make a FOURTH visit to the Final Four in FOUR years, they'll do it on the back of Collison. (Pictured Right)

26. James Harden, SF, Arizona State -- Harden is by far the Sun Devils biggest threat, he's got to get everyone involved if ASU has high hopes.

27. Jack McClinton, G, Miami -- Miami is on the bubble and will need McClinton's help if they want to make the tournament.

28. E'Twaun Moore, G, Purdue -- This baller could help send a few teams home in the NCAA tournament if Purdue can get rolling.

29. Nick Calathes, PG, Florida -- Calathes is listed as 6'6" which helps him see over defenders and find the open man.

30. Eric Maynor, G, VCU -- Maynor's been to the dance before, I wonder if he's wearing the slipper again... (Pictured Right)
