+Read full article

There are plenty of underrated players in college hoops this season, which is the case — you guessed it — every season. However, these 15 players (in no specific order) could certainly use some more love … and they are not alone.

15. Rasheed Sulaimon, Maryland Terrapins

Rasheed Sulaimon, in case you forgot, used to rock a Duke Blue Devils uniform. Now, he is a big reason why Maryland is one of the best teams in the country. Of course, Melo Trimble gets a good amount of credit (yes, it is deserved).

For the record, Sulaimon is shooting 50 percent from behind the arc in 2015-16.

14. Dwayne Bacon, Florida State Seminoles

Dwayne Bacon is a freshman, yet he is still putting up 16.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. By the time the NCAA tournament rolls around — assuming this squad makes it — Florida State's freshmen (we will get to another freshman later) could make the Seminoles one of the more dangerous teams in the dance.

13. Andrew Andrews, Washington Huskies

Andrew Andrews is having one heck of a senior year, and here's the proof: He is putting up 21.4 PPG, 6.3 RPG and 5.0 APG. Just so we are clear, Andrews is leading the Pac-12 in scoring.

12. Ben Bentil, Providence Friars

Ben Bentil is starting to get quite the attention, but he is still not the biggest star on the team ... yet he is leading Providence in scoring (19.2 PPG) and rebounding (8.0 RPG). Of course, Kris Dunn is the star of the Friars.

11. A.J. Hammons, Purdue Boilermakers

There are probably plenty of people out there who think A.J. Hammons is overrated. A lot of that probably has to deal with the NBA hype he has received over the years. Hammons might not be leading the country in scoring, but he is a big (quite the understatement right there) reason why the Boilermakers have stormed onto the scene in 2015-16.

10. Roosevelt Jones, Butler Bulldogs

Roosevelt Jones might not make it rain from deep or lead Butler in the scoring department, but he brings plenty of experience to the table. That alone could result in the Bulldogs pulling off a Butler-like run in this year's tourney.

Malik Beasley is yet another freshman who is torching the scene for the Florida State Seminoles. Beasley is currently averaging 17.1 points per contest, and he is also draining shots at a rate of 41.2 percent from behind the arc.

People are starting to take notice, but just in case they aren't, just remember this: Stefan Moody gets buckets. He has now cracked the 20-point mark in 13 straight games.

7. Troy Williams, Indiana Hoosiers

Troy Williams is a high-flyer. Translation: He is one of the most exciting players to watch in college hoops. Just to show his worth a little bit more, check out these stats: 13.3 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 38.7 percent from three (although he has only made 12 three-pointers on the season).

Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden Jr. might get most of the hype, but don't forget about Frank Mason III. After all, where would Kansas be without its leading assist man?

5. Jordan Woodard, Oklahoma Sooners

Buddy Hield is a machine, but one must not forget that Oklahoma has other players on the team. You know, players like Jordan Woodard, who can also go off in the scoring department (hence the 14.6 points per game he is averaging).

4. Yogi Ferrell, Indiana Hoosiers

Yogi Ferrell is elite. It is really that simple.

On top of scoring at will (17.1 PPG) and being deadly from behind the arc (shooting 44.3 percent from three), Ferrell just broke the Indiana basketball record for most career assists.

3. Angel Rodriguez, Miami Hurricanes

The value of a point guard can't be described in words, especially a scoring one. As for Angel Rodriguez, he is averaging 11.2 points per game, and he is a big reason why Miami has gotten off to a 13-3 start.

Don't look now, but Texas A&M is storming up the top 25 rankings, and Jalen Jones has a lot to do with that. He is dropping 20-point games in SEC play left and right, after all.

1. Duncan Robinson, Michigan Wolverines

Duncan Robinson isn't the best player in college hoops — not even close. However, he is absolutely lethal from deep. He is shooting 53.5 percent from behind the arc ... and has made 61 threes in the process.
