Yesterday, Bleacher Report released its Way-Too-Early National Player of the Year rankings. Unsurprisingly, Purdue’s Zach Edey is at the top as the seven footer is putting together another dominant season, averaging 24.8 points and 10.8 rebounds while shooting 63% from the floor. The top five is rounded out with Hunter Dickinson (Kansas), Tristen Newton (Connecticut), Tyler Kolek (Marquette), and Terrence Shannon Jr. (Illinois).

Of the 26 players that were listed, two of those guys hail from Carolina. It shouldn’t be much of a shock that those two are Armando Bacot and RJ Davis, both of whom have been driving forces for the Heels’ success this season.
