College efficiency
Obi Toppin was the best player in college basketball. Recently winning the Wooden Award for best player in college hoops, Toppin would’ve been a major force in the NCAA Tournament had it happened.
The best player on a surefire top-three seed in Dayton, Toppin averaged 20 points per game. While it’s certainly not easy to average that number, it’s much more difficult to do and shoot over 60% from the field.
Toppin did just that, shooting 63.3% from the field in 31 games his sophomore year. He was 69.8% from two-point range and 39% from deep, also notching a three per game as well.
Playing for the A-10’s Dayton, Toppin solidified himself as a top-ten pick, and his stock has been rising all season long. Toppin put up 18 points on 6-for-11 shooting and nine rebounds versus Kansas, Dayton’s most challenging foe this season.
Standing 6-foot-9, 220 pounds, Toppin physically abused opponents in the paint, and while it will be challenging at the sport’s highest level, it’ll be far from impossible for a player that’s already proven to be highly efficient.
