2023-24 Top Men’s College Basketball Freshman – Top 3 List
No 1. Jared McCain – Duke University
If you had asked who might be a close fit to win the award earlier in the season, Caleb Foster would have been my pick. However, Jared McCain is now a better choice and he might be the main reason why Duke will do well for this year’s NCAA basketball tournament. This is because he has been a solid contributor to the team despite a mediocre first month of the season.
Current statistics: 13.5 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.1 SPG, 40.1% 3PT
No 2. Rob Dillingham – University of Kentucky
According to sportsbook pay per head reviews, Rob Dillingham is a definite powerhouse and is a top prospect in this year’s NBA draft. In his last games, Dillingham has been playing like a beast averaging 25 points and 57 assists per game. While before his last three games, he was just average, lately his numbers have been crazy.
For example last Wednesday’s game against LSU, he had 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 turnovers in the first 30 minutes. Furthermore, he ended the game by scoring 21 of kentucky’s last 25 points!
No 3. Myles Rice – Washington State University
We have to give it up for Myles Rice as he is probably the heart and soul of WSU’s men’s basketball. In fact, several basketball betting websites have gone as far as saying that his is single-handedly carrying his team to a spot in this year’s College Basketball tournament.
Current statistics: 15.9 PPG, 3.7 APG, 3.0 RPG, 1.7 SPG, 33.0% 3PT
