NCAA Basketball: Top 10 players to wear jersey No. 15 in 2023-24 season

Honorable Mentions

Henry Coleman (Texas A&M)

A Duke benchwarmer as a freshman, Coleman has assumed a more significant role these last three seasons at Texas A&M. As a senior he didn’t have his most productive campaign, but still put up 8.8 point and 5.6 rebounds while helping the Aggies back to the Big Dance again. Coleman proved he’s still a very solid frontcourt player even if he isn’t necessarily living up to his high school billing.

Max Fiedler (Rice)

A long-time contributor with the Owls, Fiedler spent the last five seasons at Rice and was quite useful in this year’s transition to the AAC. The fifth-year senior averaged 9.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game, becoming one of his new league’s best rebounders and most efficient scorers. Though Rice struggled, Fiedler certainly filled the stat sheets in his final year with those Owls.

Tyler Harris (Portland)

While this Portland team didn’t exactly flourish, Harris had quite the campaign in his freshman season with the Pilots. He averaged 12.1 points and 7.3 rebounds despite missing several games due to injury, putting up solid numbers to build on going forward. He showed great promise as a rebounder and shot blocker and looks to take another big step forward at Washington next season.

Rubin Jones (North Texas)

Jones stayed at North Texas for his senior season, continuing with the program in a new era, both in a different conference and with a new head coach. Despite losing a few games to a hamstring injury, he thrived while on the court, with 12.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. He’d also knock down 42% of his 3-pointers with decent steals and defensive metrics once again. He did all of this as one of the top scorer on a Mean Green team that played decently in year one in the AAC.

RJ Melendez (Georgia)

After two years at Illinois, Melendez found himself in the Transfer Portal this offseason and landed at Georgia. While the season wasn’t easy for the Bulldogs, Melendez would settle into the most productive season of his career. The junior would average 9.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game with decent shooting numbers. Georgia still managed 20 wins with Melendez as a decent weapon off the bench, and perhaps he’ll take another step forward next season.
