Sweet 16 Features 5 of top 10 Value Add Players, Mobley Challenging Garza for MVP

The www.valueaddbasketball.com ratings of college basketball players will be updated shortly, and we started by posting them here. We posted two separate blogs, one with the top NIT Final Four Players, while this blog includes the final ratings for players on the 327 teams who were no longer playing as of Saturday morning.

One interested shocker to us is that USC's Evan Mobley's rating of 10.97 is on the verge of topping Luka Garza's 11.09 as the Most Valuable Player in the country this year. Garza continues to easily be the most valuable offensive player, however his defensive rating is a decent but not great -1.23 after Iowa yield 95 points to Oregon in only 75 possessions to be eliminated after allow 74 points in just 63 possessions to one of the weakest offenses in the tournament, Grand Canyon as shown at www.kenpom.com.

(Correction) the original email stated Grand Canyon was one if the worst offenses innthe country, which we corrected to note we meant one of the worst in the tournament. They rank 57th out of 68 tournament teams in AdjO, however they were 119th out of 347 offenses in the country, so a good overall offense just poor compared to other teams that made the tournament.

Sat Mar 206104Grand CanyonW, 86-7463 Neutral22-8 
Mon Mar 22617OregonL, 95-8075 Neutral22-9 
Home games played at Carver Hawkeye Arena (15,056, 28th largest in D-I)

Meanwhile Mobley grabbed 15 defensive rebounds and blocked six shots - more than twice as many of each as the other five elite freshmen to play in the first two rounds, to help USC allow on 56 points in 65 possessions to Drake and an unbelievably low 51 points in 68 possessions against Kansas, again as shown by Ken Pomeroy. Mobley has the second best AdjD (defensive value add) in the country at -3.53 to bring his overall Value Add (AdjO - AdjD) almost equal to Garza.

Sat Mar 201153DrakeW, 72-5665 Neutral23-7 
Mon Mar 22929KansasW, 85-5168 Neutral24-7 

The ratings below, and that will be posted as www.valueaddbasketball.com this weekend are as of the opening of the Sweet 16 games, so do include the first NIT semifinal but no other games played on Saturday.
