Whenever you do a rankings list like this, you always find yourself surprised by some of the things you find out doing some deep digging. The biggest takeaway from my doing these rankings has been the incredible star power at the power forward position in mid-major basketball.

#3. Alize Johnson (Missouri State)
Vitals: Senior, 6-9, 203 pounds
Stats: 14.8 ppg, 10.6 rpg, 1.9 apg, 38.8% 3-pt FG%
A year ago, Johnson had never played a minute of D1 basketball. Now, he is far and away the favorite for Missouri Valley Player of the Year and on NBA radars. The JUCO product Johnson has incredible athleticism and a diverse offensive skillset that makes him an incredibly intriguing “combo forward” prospect at the NBA level. He recently was a standout at the Adidas Nations event. For now though, he’s tasked with bringing Missouri State to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1999.
