7 Players Who Can Take Over the NCAA Tournament

Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin

Since we just tackled the light version of Frank Kaminsky in Northern Iowa's Seth Tuttle, let's go with the real Kaminsky for another player who can take over in the NCAA Tournament. Getting the West Region's top-seeded Wisconsin Badgers (31-3) back to the Final Four and a potential rematch with Kentucky with the toughest 1 seed path will be a challenge that will require Wisconsin to lean heavily on their big man.

Kaminsky, a 7'0" senior, leads college basketball with 8.5 Win Shares and has the highest Player Efficiency Rating (35.0) as well. He's scored in double figures in 33 of 34 games and had 12 double-double games. There isn't much he doesn't do well, and he ranks eighth overall in in the NCAA Tournament with an Offensive Rating of 129.8. Kaminsky has per-game averages of 18.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. His per-40 totals are 22.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.

Combine that with the fact that Kaminsky can shoot the three, too, (39.5%) and you have a matchup nightmare that nobody has been able to handle.
