Top 2016 Teams/Players: Summit LEAGUE (Ranked 23)

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. 

The Summit League has developed one of the greatest tournaments, packing more than 10,000 fans into the semifinals and finals. This year they are going to have something big to cheer about with South Dakota State looking absolutely packed and good enough for an upset. They had a very impressive NOT road win against a Colorado State team many thought would be in the NCAA, and then lost at a Vanderbilt team that may be ranked this year. North Dakota State looked solid against Gonzaga in the NCAA.

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.
