Draymond Green nudges out Crowder for best performance so far, 39-38, with Davis a distant 3rd at 31

I ran the NBA efficiency rating for everyone who played in "Round 2," on Thursday and Friday.  As you can see from the link, this is the formula used by NBA coaches to determine how well each player plays each day, and the formula is: Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocks - Free Throws Missed - Field Goals Missed - Turnovers.

I've been running the Value Add for all the players in the tournament, and in this case the players with best 3 Value Adds for the season also had the best three games in the first round of the tournament.  For the season, Value Add said Anthony Davis of Kentucky was the best player, Jae Crowder was 2nd best, and Draymond Green was 3rd best.  In the opening round, Green and Crowder were MUCH better than any other player in the tournament, with an NBA Efficiency of 39 and 38 respectively, while Davis came in tied with Kansas State's Rodney McGruder in a distant 3rd at 31.  Below are the top 30 performances of the opening round - as we count down the tense moments until the 4:15 CST CBS tipoff with Murray State with Missouri already cleared out for the next round.
