Who do you consider your top 4 players?

[Svoboda]

If you had to pick our four top players heading into the season based on what you know today, who would they be?

I'm going around asking this on every Valley team forum and then plan on putting those 40 players into our Power Rankings software at MVCTalk and letting people rank the MVC Top 40. Figured it would be something cool to do and something with input from the fan bases of the entire league.

Frankamp
McDuffie
Brown
Shamet
(note: Morris could be best center in the league if he could stay on the court)

This is an incredibly difficult question. The top two are obvious for us Shocker fans. The rest, well, not so much. But if pressed:

1. McDuffie
2. Shamet
3. Brown
4. Frankamp

Morris just outside the top 4. Willis would have a good chance to move up here.

I think most, if not all, of our scholarship players are in the Top 40 players in the Valley (keep in mind that our recruiting classes have gotten better and better). But that statement probably isn't as popular with fans of other teams.

If, based on 3 years of post-high school basketball, Frankamp is in our top 4 best players, much less top 2, we are in more trouble than I thought.

I agree with this. McDuffie would have been my #1 choice before going to Canada.

Brown and Frankamp have been the most impressive in Canada

Shamet has been good not great, but has ridiculous potential.

Morris could be amazing, but his fouls and stamina limit him.

Before the Canada trip he wouldn't be in my Top 8 or so .. he's now one of my top ones after the trip. He's been very good this trip.

1. McDuffie
2. Shamet
3. Frankcamp
4. (torn between Brown and Morris)

Morris needs to stay on the court longer to be top 4. Brown is definitely improved though. Either way, these 5 players could all be starters at the same time at some point.

EDIT: Basically exactly what Dan said.
