What constitutes being the best player on a team? Is it being the most talented? The one who is the most critical to the success of the team? The one putting up the best numbers? The best pro prospect?
This has been a major topic of conversation already nationally, and one that’s been around for a few years. Is Duke’s best player Zion Williamson or RJ Barrett? Jalen Brunson was the National Player of the Year last year, but you could easily argue he was not the best player on his own team.
The debate is also happening in Lawrence through the first month and a half of the season.
