The Hoops Report's Player of the Year Rankings
(Top Five through Jan. 8)
1. Jahlil Okafor, 6-11, Jr., Whitney Young
Dominating presence. Big-time production.And so far, the best player on the best team.
2. Malcolm Hill, 6-6, Sr., Belleville East
The superior numbers, combined with team success, speaks volumes.
3. Jabari Parker, 6-8, Sr., Simeon
Despite being returning Player of the Year, forced to play catch-up after battling back from injury. But he's climbing fast!
4. Tyler Ulis, 5-8, Jr., Marian Catholic
Aside from Okafor, there might not be a player who impacts more trips down the floor.
5. Cliff Alexander, 6-9, Jr., Curie
Has evolved over the past month into more than just an elite prospect.
