Obi Toppin, Dayton
Forward, 6-foot-9, 22 years old
Toppin, the most prolific dunker in college basketball, was averaging 1.17 points per possession on offense. That ranked second-best among D-I players who finished at least 400 possessions thus far, per Synergy. The high-volume finisher helped Dayton make a case for the most exciting team in college basketball this season. The bad news, however, is that Toppin likely can be played off the floor during big moments due to his poor defensive instincts. His pick-and-roll coverage is easy to criticize, and his measurable statistics when guarding opponents don’t do him any favors, either. Despite that, his box plus-minus ranks as the best among all players at mid-major schools. For a big man, he projects as a solid role player and a likely starter.
