Ranking the Top 100 Best College Basketball Players for 2023-24

This is an early look at the players with eligibility that are likely to return for the 2023-2024 season. This will be updated after the draft withdrawal date. We will also update those players with Covid years as well when they are confirmed.

The rankings are by peak adjusted efficiency (ADJeff) for the 2023-2024 season. This ranking takes into account player efficiency rating adjusted for strength of schedule and a few other factors. Efficiency is simply a statistical impact per possession. One aspect to be aware of in talking about efficiency is that most elite post players usually perform better in the metric. This makes sense as they typically have higher true shooting percentages from getting easier shots closer to the rim.

Having players that score higher efficiency points, rebound, and block shots at higher levels is highly important in the game. It always has been a game dominated by mostly bigger humans of which there are fewer. Finding those players is important on any team.

There a few of the best players in the nation still in the portal. We will update those when they commit. Zach Edey was #1 in our ADJeff rankings last season as well where we correctly projected his numbers. He is likely to return coming off one of the greatest statistical seasons in college basketball history. Easily #1 in the nation if he returns. It’s pretty incredible the distance between Edey and the 20th best player.
