No. 39 – D’Angelo Russell, 2015
It was a bit of an upset for Ohio State to even land the talented freshman as it was. The Buckeyes were not his first choice initially, but Louisville, Michigan State, and North Carolina didn’t think they had the room for the role he desired. That was a big mistake for those teams. Russell quickly showed a diverse offensive game that any big-time program would want and finished the year with being recognized as a consensus All-American, First-Team Big Ten honoree, Big Ten Freshman of the Year, and Jerry West Award winner.
