College basketball’s top 20 bigs for the 2020-21 season--The Athletic
16. Cameron Krutwig, 6-foot-9 senior, Loyola-Chicago
We’re two seasons removed from Loyola’s storybook Final Four run, so you’d be forgiven for forgetting about Krutwig, who dropped 17 points and six rebounds against Michigan in a national semifinal. But he has continued to be a steady hand for the Rattlers, increasing his scoring and rebounding every year. If not for a pandemic-shortened season, Krutwig (1,384 career points) would have a real shot at hitting 2,000.

Plenty of players worth watching from smaller conferences--Associated Press
NORTHERN IOWA G AJ GREENGreen, a 6-4 junior, averaged 19.7 points while making 91.7% of his free throws and 39.1% of his 3-point attempts last season. He was named the Missouri Valley Conference player of the year and scholar-athlete of the year. This former top-100 recruit was the MVC’s freshman of the year two seasons ago and scored 509 points, the most ever by a Northern Iowa freshman.
College basketball’s top 20 guards for the 2020-21 season--The Athletic
9. A.J. Green, 6-foot-4 junior, Northern Iowa
Green reminds me of former Virginia guard Ty Jerome, who I absolutely loved. Neither player is a speedster, but both know how to change speeds, have that old-man-at-the-Y kind of trickery and carry themselves like no one can stop them. Jerome was a better passer but Green is the better scorer. He averaged 19.7 points per game last year and has the ability to go off — he scored 25-plus in nine games last season. He’s fun to watch when he gets in the paint because he can throw in scoops with either hand, and then he can really get cooking from deep. Defenders can be right in his grill but it doesn’t matter. He’ll shoot daggers in your eye, and there’s nothing you can do about it because his release is above his head and nearly unblockable, similar to the way Larry Legend used to do it. OK, I’ll stop. But make sure to check out the Panthers, especially when they match up with Loyola Chicago. The two Valley teams should be among the best mid-majors in college hoops.
