Pass Masters: the seven best playmakers in college basketball right now

College basketball thrives on pace, rhythm, and ball movement, and this year’s top playmakers are driving their offenses to new heights. From seasoned veterans to rising stars, these seven players are shaping the national landscape with elite passing and command of the floor.

5. Robert McCray V, Florida State Seminoles

Robert McCray V, a 6-foot-4 senior from Columbia, South Carolina, is averaging 6.8 assists per game and continues to be a stabilizing force for Florida State. The Seminoles are looking to reestablish themselves nationally, and McCray’s leadership will be crucial. He scored 16 points and handed out 5 assists in a recent loss to Houston and previously recorded 11 assists against Texas A+M.

4. Christian Anderson, Texas Tech Red Raiders

Texas Tech looks capable of making a deep run in March, and Christian Anderson is a major reason why. The 6-foot-3 guard from Atlanta is putting together an outstanding season with 19.1 points and 7 assists per game. Anderson was dominant in the win over LSU, finishing with 27 points and 8 assists. His combination of scoring and playmaking makes him one of the most dangerous guards in the Big 12.
