Weekly Fantasy Rankings by Class
Seniors
#1- Deacon Palmer (Mississippi State)- 2.179
#2- Jaybard Riley (Louisville)- 1.763
#3- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- 1.382
#4- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 1.219
#5- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- 1.057
#6- Tim Sheppard (Michigan State)- .962
#7- Benton Gale (Florida)- .932
It's hard to beat a guy that had 2 POTG awards and 2 Double-Doubles in 2 games, but that's exactly what Deacon had. Incredible performance.
Juniors
#1- Will Brown (Duke)- 2.271
#2- Sophus Abel (Texas)- .882
#3- Matthew Ginsberg (Georgetown)- .778
As impressive as Deacon was for the seniors, Will was just as, if not more impressive with his 44 point game. Crazy enough, that's not the record for number of points in a game. Of our players maybe, but not overall.
Sophomores
#1- Cori O'Neill (Marquette)- 1.438
#2- Barrett Hays (Florida)- .983
#3- Jerry Miller (Florida State)- .883
Our sophomore class wasn't quite as good, but Cori led the way. It's good to see him getting to play, he looks like he has a lot of potential.
Weekly Fantasy Rankings Overall
#1- Will Brown (Duke)- 2.271
#2- Deacon Palmer (Mississippi State)- 2.179
#3- Jaybard Riley (Louisville)- 1.763
#4- Cori O'Neill (Marquette)- 1.438
#5- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- 1.382
#6- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 1.219
#7- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- 1.057
#8- Barrett Hays (Florida)- .983
#9- Tim Sheppard (Michigan State)- .962
#10- Benton Gale (Florida)- .932
#11- Jerry Miller (Florida State)- .883
#12- Sophus Abel (Texas)- .882
#13- Matthew Ginsberg (Georgetown)- .778
So Will's 44 point game was just enough to beat out Deacon's 2 POTG awards and 2 double-doubles, but 2 players with a 2.000+ in the same week is absolutely incredible.
