NCAA Basketball: Ranking of top 100 senior players from 2019-20 season
70. Jon Teske (Michigan)
Career stats: 6.6 ppg 4.8 rpg 1.3 bpg
After having a reserve role on Michigan’s 2018 title appearance team, Teske became one of the top individual defending big men in the country. The 7’1 center was also capable on offense, averaging 11.6 ppg as a senior and going for 19 points and 15 rebounds in Michigan’s defining win over Gonzaga in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament.
69. Lamonte Turner (Tennessee)
Career stats: 10.2 ppg 2.9 rpg 3.3 apg
Whether from the bench or as a starter, Turner was a great scorer for the Vols in all four seasons. He also was developing into an elite point guard, averaging 7.1 apg in the first 11 games of the season. Unfortunately for him, his season was ended short by a shoulder injury.
68. Marlon Stewart (Creighton and North Dakota)
Career stats: 13.1 ppg 3.4 rpg 3.5 apg
Originally at Creighton, Stewart became one of the best overall players in the Summit League for the past few years. The 6’3 guard was an all-around player as well, one of just a few players nationally this season who averaged at least 18 ppg, 5 rpg and 5 apg. Even at 6’3, Stewart managed to pull down a career-high 17 rebounds in a game against Western Illinois as well.
67. Josh Sharkey (Samford)
Career stats: 12.3 ppg 2.9 rpg 5.9 apg
Despite coming off the bench, Sharkey was still able to be one of the top passers in all of the SoCon. In the past two seasons though, the 5’10 was among one of the top point producers in the nation. He was in the top-10 in assists both seasons, while upping his scoring to a career-high 18.0 ppg. Sharkey is now the all-time program leader in assists (756), along with steals (284).
66. Harald Frey (Montana State)
Career stats: 14.9 ppg 3.6 rpg 4.0 apg
One of the best scorers out of the Big Sky in recent memory, the Norweigan guard started each game for the Bobcats in all four years. One of the more consistent offensive players, Frey had a career-high 37 points against Montana this season. Even with all the scoring, he still managed to lead the team in assists as well, showing how valuable he was to Montana State.
65. Dywane Sutton (UNC Asheville and Louisville)
Career stats: 8.8 ppg 8.6 rpg 1.3 apg
After one year at UNC Asheville, the 6’5 forward went up a level to play for the Cardinals. Sutton was a solid contributor for the team as a starter, including scoring 10 ppg as a junior. While his numbers don’t jump off the sheets, he played a big role in the start of the Chris Mack era at Louisville.
64. Charles Williams (Howard)
Career stats: 18.1 ppg 3.2 rpg 0.8 apg
It’s unfortunate that the Bison haven’t been very good these last several years because the team has had some great scoring guards. RJ Cole (transferred to UConn) and Williams, who averaged no less than 15.6 ppg in his career at Howard. His best was as a sophomore, going 20.4 ppg in 41% from three-point range. He may not have any team accomplishments to brag about but is the all-time MEAC scoring leader, with 2,404 total points.
63. Eugene German (Northern Illinois)
Career stats: 17.6 ppg 3.6 rpg 2.0 apg
One of the best pure scorers in MAC Basketball history, German put up 20+ ppg in each of the last three seasons. That kind of prolonged consistency makes him the all-time scoring leader of Northern Illinois, as well as 5th overall in the conference. This past season, the 6’0 guard scored between 12-27 points in every single game, showing how easy it was to rely upon German.
62. TJ Holyfield (Stephen F. Austin and Texas Tech)
Career stats: 10.3 ppg 5.6 rpg 1.6 bpg
A winner wherever he went, Holyfield was a key figure in the Lumberjacks multiple recent trips to the NCAA Tournament, including beating West Virginia in the 14 over 3 upset win. After missing a season via injury, the 6’8 forward transferred to the Red Raiders, where he started for 30 on what would’ve been a team that was dancing. Holyfield wasn’t a stat stuffer like the previously mentioned players but he won far more games in his college career.
61. Ryan Woolridge (North Texas and Gonzaga)
Career stats: 11.2 ppg 5.1 rpg 4.7 apg
In three years at North Texas, Woolridge was an All-Conference USA performer who filled up the stat sheets. When he elected to transfer to Gonzaga, it was a question as to whether things would translate. It ultimately did, putting up similar stats but on a team that went 30-2 overall. His defense was what stood out overall, becoming another transfer success story for the Bulldogs.
