Ranking the Top 5 Players in the 2015 NCAA Tournament National Championship

Ranking the Top 5 Players in the NCAA Tournament National Championship

Duke vs. Wisconsin is going to make for one heck of a national championship. These two teams have been two of the best in the country since Day 1. Although many fans were hoping for a Kentucky-Duke matchup, that clearly did not happen. Still, this version of the title game (the real version) features two No. 1 seeds that are both loaded with talent.

5. Quinn Cook, Duke

Duke's freshmen have gotten a lot of credit this year, but who knows where the Blue Devils would be without their senior leader. For what it's worth, Quinn Cook had 17 points in the Final Four.

4. Justise Winslow, Duke

Justise Winslow has completely stepped his game up in the Big Dance. As a result, his draft stock should be at an all-time high, and the Blue Devils are playing for another championship. Winslow was mostly known for his defense during the regular season, but he has taken his entire game to a new level in the tourney.

3. Jahlil Okafor, Duke

If we were basing this off of talent, Jahlil Okafor could easily come in at No. 1. However, there are two players who I believe have been better than Okafor in the dance. Still, the big man has what it takes to take over any game, and he will certainly be a handful for the Badgers.

2. Sam Dekker, Wisconsin

Make no mistake about it: If it weren't for Sam Dekker's amazing play, Wisconsin would not be in the title game. Dekker is playing at an extremely high level right now. If he played like this the entire year, Wisconsin very well could have been the undefeated team entering the contest with Kentucky.

1. Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin

Some could easily argue that Dekker has been the best player for Wisconsin in the tournament. However, it is really hard to go against the Player of the Year. Plus, Frank "The Tank" Kaminsky has been playing very well. He is averaging 22.2 points per game in the NCAA tournament, after all.
