One National CBB Thought
Each year, the John R. Wooden Award is given to the nation’s top college basketball player. It isn’t given to necessarily the most talented player, but the player who had the best season.
Last year it went to Jalen Brunson of Villanova — a second round NBA draft pick. The year prior? Frank Mason, second round draft pick. Two years before that, it was Frank Kaminsky — who was aggressively shopped at this year’s NBA trade deadline and will likely end up selling cars or playing video games professionally before the freshmen on Ole Miss’s campus have time to graduate.
