17. Gaige Prim, Missouri State

The forward to know (and love) in the Valley a year ago was Cameron Krutwig, the absolute unit with the soft hands, surprising foot speed, and superlative ‘stache. Missouri State star Gaige Prim is less of an … aesthetic character, let’s say, but he will fully usurp Krutwig’s place as the Valley’s best big man this season anyway. He wasn’t far off a year ago: Prim averaged 16.7 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, including the league’s best offensive rebounding rate (13.7 percent). Indeed, Prim finished in the top 10 in the league in offensive rating (sixth), usage rate (third), shot percentage (seventh), effective field goal and true shooting percentages (fifth, third), both rebounding stats, blocks rate (fourth), fouls drawn per 40 minutes (sixth), free throw percentage (ninth) and two-point field goal accuracy (61.0 percent). He doesn’t shoot 3s, and isn’t likely to start doing so, but in every other regard he was an incredibly effective big man in his second season on campus. He will be aiming for even higher heights in 2021-22, and Krutwig won’t be around to stop him.

99. A.J. Green | Northern Iowa | Junior

The Panthers' primary problem-inducer for opponents is coming off hip surgery, otherwise he would have been ranked higher. (He was No. 55 in our rankings last year.) Green's career numbers: 17.4 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 2.6 apg, 88.5% FT and a 37.3% 3-point shooter. Green, a senior with another year of eligibility after this, is a high-major starter in a mid-major conference. --MN
