		Fazekas isn’t exactly as strong of a Naismith Player of the Year candidate as Adam Morrison was last season, but he is still one of the most legit candidates for the award to come from a mid-major school in a while.
		Durant is probably the most talented player in all of college basketball, and he’s putting up the type of numbers that would reflect that (21.6 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 2.0 bpg).
		Aside from rebounding, he’s an all-around player with no glaring weaknesses and one of the purest strokes in the game, but as versatile as his game is, he does seem to lack the intensity that the other players on this list and can go for long stretches of time without being a factor offensively.
