Top 2016 Teams/Players: Western Athletic (Ranked 27)

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. 

Pascal Siakam from Cameroon projects to be a huge star and could take New Mexico State to a conference title. He wrapped up his freshman season with 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocked shots against Kansas in the tournament. For the season, he was in the top 1% of offensive rebounding and in the top few percent in drawing fouls, blocking shots and shooting percentage.

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.
