This article is part of our Draft Kit series.
In past seasons, the top of the rankings has been dominated by one-and-done freshmen. While this season has its share of excellent first-year players (see Porter and Bagley), I am giving the top ranking to an old salt sophomore. Miles Bridges had an outstanding freshman campaign and came back to dominate to an even greater degree. Drafts thus far have leaned toward bigs in the early going, so my top 150 rankings reflect that trend. The top eight players (other than maybe Bridges) would not qualify for a backcourt spot. Freshman are denoted with an asterisk.
