The best player in the country might be a stretch and is hard thing to judge as it's in the eyes of the beholder.

He's solid no doubt! I'm not sure I've seen enough different players play to make the call on who the BEST IN THE COUNTRY IS!

You can certainly make an argument that he is the best based on what he does for his team. Watched Wisconsin play yesterday and I think they said he led them in points, rebounds,assists, steals and blocks. Pretty impressive considering his team is ranked #5 in the country.

He definitely has to rank right at the very top and can't wait to watch him play.

It's obvious he is a very talented center that does everything well, no stat stands out but every stat is solid.

He is a very good player, but I don't think he is as good as Okafor, Karl Towns, Willie Cauley Stein, or DeAngelo Russell and a few others as well. I think he is a Top 10 player though.
I've seen him struggle against players who are quicker and stronger. If I remember correctly UK pretty much man handled him last year in the Final Four. He might have had 7 points and 5 boards.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

I too think he is the best player in the country but as a senior his potential has been reached. Also, KAT and Okafor are not far behind him and they are 3 years younger. I don't see Kaminsky doing much more in the NBA. KAT and Okafor will be two of the next great big men in the NBA.

I think the argument could be made for Frank the Tank being the MVP of his team, certainly, but best player in the nation? I don't believe so. He struggles against bigs that are his size and quicker. I would take my chances with WCS guarding him, perhaps even Dakari, although the defensive quality drops off sharply. While I think Kaminsky is stronger than Towns, I think we'd all agree that Towns is much quicker and more athletic.
I see Frank as a journeyman player at the next level. He'll be a solid big man but never all-star caliber.

I would like to see Kaminsky and WCS go at it. We may get to see that in the NCAA tournament. It would be a classic game for sure.

I think KAT is the best player in college basketball, hands down.

You are not the only one that feels that way. I think he has the best upside but it will take another year to perfect his talents. There is no doubt however the NBA would take him in this years draft as a lottery pick.
