Heading into the college basketball season a lot of talk surrounded the incoming freshman class. It’s a group that college coaches couldn’t wait to get on campus and it’s a collection of players that NBA executives can’t wait to draft.

And we are quickly seeing why.

Markelle Fultz has already eclipsed the 30-point mark twice, Malik Monk pumped in seven three-pointers in the Garden and Arizona may have the best freshman to ever come through their program. But those are just a few of the notable freshman storylines a week and a half into the season.

With the sheer depth of the freshman group and the impact it’s already making, we plan to periodically release a power ranking of the top freshmen in the country. This isn’t who we think is the best prospect, per se, but who is playing the best.
