Oscar Tshiebwe selected No. 1 in ESPN's CBB fantasy draft (DUH)

What happens when the best player in college basketball returns for another season? Common sense would tell you he’d be the best player in college basketball for another season.

ESPN agreed with that logic in its 2022 college basketball fantasy draft, with none other than Kentucky superstar Oscar Tshiebwe coming off the board at No. 1 overall.

Analysts Jeff Borzello, John Gasaway and Myron Medcalf conducted the three-team, eight-round draft, choosing the 24 best players in college basketball this season. Five starters, three reserves, including the following stipulations:

  • Each GM could not draft more than one player from a particular team
  • Each team needed to include a mid-major player not from Gonzaga
