NBA Draft 2017: Top 10 Best College Basketball Players for March Madness

No. 10 G Luke Kennard (Duke)


School: Duke


Position: Guard


Size: 6'6"/202 pounds


Class: Sophomore


Why Watch: College basketball fans are asking NBA fans, "What took you so long?" Kennard is one of the best college players in the country and is generating considerable NBA buzz. With the emergence of Tatum, it is easy to overlook Kennard, but he is the glue that keeps the Duke team together. Tatum has only helped Kennard who has had 20 or more points in four of the last five games. Kennard is one of the best shooters in college basketball shooting at an alarming rate of 44 percent from behind the three-point line. In the NBA, if you can shoot you will always have a role. It is easy to see Kennard being just as deadly a shooter at the next level. Kennard averaged over 20 points a game and could push himself into the late lottery with a deep Duke tourney run. (Getty)
