Top 2016 Teams/Players: Colonial Athletic ASSOCIATION (Ranked 19)


We hope Marquette can pick up one of the top available players from our rankings here. Tonight we run through the competition - ranking all the conferences competing with the Big East for bids, and ranking both their teams and top 40 players. 

One place where analytics disagrees with conventional wisdom is in the case of William and Mary's Terry Tarpey, who we measure as one of the most valuable players in the country even though he was not considered the best player on the team by many observers. No great teams this year, but plenty of very good players.

These are the top 40 players in the conference based on the rankings at www.valueaddbasketball.com. The team rankings are 50% based on the sum of each team’s Value Add ratings and 50% based on last year (since better teams typically replenish after losing stars). With over 4000 players projected in the database, we WELCOME all corrections in the comments field.


Value Add was first introduced on www.crackedsidewalks.com, and calculates how many points better each player is worth to his team over how good they would be if he was replaced. The projections measure the standard improvement in a player between his freshman, sophomore, junior and senior seasons, and the evaluation of incoming freshman and JUCO players.
