Top 100 College Players 2020-2021 When on Court

The final www.valueaddbasketball.com ratings for the 2020-21 season are nearly complete. The final ratings for all players on every team except those in the Final Fours are calculated and are will be current on www.valueaddbasketball.com by morning. The Final Four teams will be updated for a final tally for the year after the National Title game Monday night.

However, we wanted to make one distinction.

The ratings at the link of all 4,000+ D1 college players provides are based on their Value Add ratings - that is how many points per game they improved a team on both offense and defense verses how the team would have done with a standard replacement player (7th or 8th player on an average team). If Evan Mobley (11.16), Luka Garza (11.09) and the much lesser known Kendric Davis (11.01) had missed the whole season we would have expected USC, Iowa and SMU to average doing 11 points worse each game. So a 70-65 win, would have been about a 65-71 loss.

Under this system, when a player is out injured (or on Covid-19 quarantine this year) the player gets a 0.00 for a game, so the players who missed time drop in the ratings. 

Therefore, we are listing the top 100 players this season PER GAME and put it in the notes fields in the database, so you will know where a player would have ranked if he had played the whole season. The table below provides the top 100 most valuable college basketball players this year when they were on the court. Here are some notes on elite players whose ratings were held down.

Keep in mind a player in the top 41 is in the top 1% of all players, the top 82 players in the top 2%, and the top 410 players are in the top 10% and elite.

The top 4 players, the three mentioned above plus Gonzaga's Drew Timme, did not miss any games so their ratings in the database is the same as their total below.

Oregon's Chris Duarte is the first player impacted. In the 25 games in which he played, his Value Add was 9.78, the fifth best in the country. However, he missed two games so will rank 10th in the database. The database and list below show "25/0/2," meaning he started 25 games, had 0 games off the bench, and missed 2 games.

Auburn's Sharife Cooper was the most impacted player. He just missed the top 1% of all players with a 7.65 rating, the 46th most valuable player in the country when he played. He also has an NBA rating of 98 of 100, so an almost sure fire strong NBA player in the future. However, because he played only 12 games and missed 15, his actual calculation will leave him with less than half as high a Value Add rating and ranked 585th - in the top 15% of players but not a reflection of how dominant he is.

Illinois' Ayo Dosunmu would have ranked 11th of all players but is 25th due to injuries, and Stanford's Oscar da Silva would have ranked 16th, but injuries pushed him to 29th.

Three other players would have ranked just a bit out side of the top 1% except for injuries. These are Virginia Tech's Tyrece Radford (57th most valuable when playing), Villanova's Collin Gillespie (64th) and UConn's James Bouknight (65th).
