The end of the calendar year means that it is time to recognize the best players in college basketball during 2022. HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel has reviewed all of the numbers and is ready to announce his picks for the 5 best players from each conference based on their all-around stats. Players are listed in a traditional 5-position lineup (G-G-F-F-C) whenever possible with several exceptions, plus a special award for Player of the Year So Far (POYSF). If you think that he has overlooked anyone then feel free to tweet us your comments, and check back tomorrow for the remaining conferences in Part 2.
