      kPOY Rating
1   Draymond Green, Michigan St.   .564
2   Thomas Robinson, Kansas   .534
3   Jared Sullinger, Ohio St.   .515
4   Anthony Davis, Kentucky   .474
5   Will Barton, Memphis   .451
6   Jordan Taylor, Wisconsin   .408
7   Tyler Zeller, North Carolina   .384
8   Jae Crowder, Marquette   .382
9   Cody Zeller, Indiana   .379
10   Mike Scott, Virginia   .379

Jae's tournament play was enough for him to overcome one of the Zeller brothers and come within .002 of the other as he just missed 7th place to finish as the 8th best player according to Pomeroy.  This is consistent with his 2nd Team All-American honors from the Sporting News and the AP, though Value Add had him even higher as the 2nd most valuable player.

How is this calculated? There's no way that Jordan Taylor should even be in the top 20, let alone #6, with the dud (relatively speaking) of a year that he had.

I agree on Taylor. Never understood all the excitement about him. Not saying because he played at UW, just never thought he was super elite.

[flash]

This must be a pretty flawed system if Jordan Taylor is #6

[MarquetteDano]

My guess tempo favors Taylor quite a bit.  Since he is such as large part of the team's offensive and defensive stats he factors well.  The total numbers don't look as good but since Wisconsin doesn't score much and neither do their opponents he is still a large part of the team offensively and defensively.

So Pomeroy has:

The Big 1? as a league grossly overrated.

The Big 1? individual teams grossly overrated.

The top Big 1? individual players grossly overrated.

Doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to detect a pattern here. There's obviously a flaw in Pomeroy's system.

Hahaha, I like it.
