Wooden Award Candidates
Top 5
1 Victor Oladipo,
Indiana- Oladipo is arguably the best defensive player in the country. His athleticism makes him absolutely lethal.
2 Otto Porter,
Georgetown- Porter has the ability to score from any place on the court. His 6'8" build makes him so versatile.
3 Kelly Olynyk,
Gonzaga- Olynyk is an absolute beast. He has been averaging 17 points and 6 rebounds a game. He also has the ability to hit an outside shot.
4 Trey Burke,
Michigan- Burke has had an up-and-down season. As a PG, it does not help that his team has been struggling as of late. Burke's explosiveness is killer. He has been averaging 18 points and about 7 assists per game.
5 Ben McLemore,
Kansas- McLemore is the best Freshman in the country. He has been putting up 16 points per game and has a knack for exciting plays.
Top 3 Coaches of the Year
1 Jim Larranaga, Miami- Larranaga has
done an absolutely great job for Miami. The Canes are holding onto a two-game
lead in the ACC.
2 Mark Few, Gonzaga- Few has one of his
best teams ever this year. They have done a great job scheduling
out-of-conference opponents.
3 John Thompson, Georgetown- The Hoyas
were unranked to start the year. After a few tough losses to Big East opponents
earlier this season, Georgetown is back on track and the hottest team in the
country.
