College Basketball's Best Freshmen for 2015-16

Posted Oct 8, 2015
The 2015-16 freshman class is littered with questions. Two of the top freshmen in the country — Kentucky’s Skal Labissiere and Kansas’ Chieck Diallo — have yet to be cleared to play this season by the NCAA. And if they are declared eligible, it’s unclear if it will be for the entire season. Elsewhere, the consensus No. 1 player in the class, Ben Simmons, doesn’t play for a consensus top 25 team.
