1st Team
Rui Hachimura, Gonzaga
Dedric Lawson, Kansas
Grant Williams, Tennessee
Zion Williamson, Duke
Cassius Winston, Michigan State

2nd Team
RJ Barrett, Duke
Jarrett Culver, Texas Tech
Ethan Happ, Wisconsin
Markus Howard, Marquette
Shamorie Ponds, St. John's

3rd Team
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Virginia Tech
Carsen Edwards, Purdue
Daniel Gafford, Arkansas
Kyle Guy, Virginia
Caleb Martin, Nevada

The article features a brief overview of each player. The conclusion on Markus: "There is no one like him in college hoops." I'd have to agree.

That a good/fair selection.

Only ommission would be Ja Morant from Murray State, who is just playing fantastic at 23ppg and 11 assists.

Is Markus young for his class?  Interesting.  I'm surprised the TV announcers never mentioned that.

Needs to be framed in context. NBA loves youth.

Once more for emphasis:

Seniors in college are typically 22 years old by the end of the school year, so if you're a redshirt senior you're probably...

Georgetown plays at a breakneck pace, both teams have played in several OT games this season (Georgetown 2OT last game)... it could happen!

The average D-I college frosh is 19 and a half years old on Jan 1 of their freshman year.. #M2N was 17.8, a good year and a half younger than the avg frosh. (Similarly.. 19.8 now, a year and a half younger than the avg Jr)

You only have 6-7 weeks to get to career 2000 before your 20th.

Trice will be over 24 as a senior, presuming he doesn't somehow redshirt another year.
