There was only slight movement within the top ten, with Utah State, Nevada, and FAU moving up or down a few spots. However, UAB bumped down to #11, making room for conference foe North Texas. With the shuffle, three teams from C-USA are now in the top 11 spots of the mid-major rankings.
The biggest mover was Kent State, going from #21 to #14 after blowout wins over WMU and EMU. Then, Santa Clara jumped seven spots after a massive win over BYU last Thursday, followed by the drumming of Portland 103-84.
BYU was amongst the biggest fallers after losing to Santa Clara and Saint Mary’s last week. Likewise, UNLV saw a dip in its rankings after a winless week.
Utah Valley cracks the top 25 after picking up a massive road win over Seattle 67-58. Bowing out of the rankings is Southern Mississippi after losing to South Alabama by 31 on the road. Below, we will highlight the most efficient scorers on each team that have taken at least 130 shots.
Logan Johnson (SMC)
Johnson is in the 83rd percentile in SQ PPP. He is in the 86th percentile in efficiency in the transition offense while being one of the best in the nation in attacking the rim and driving to the basket. He is also in the 98th percentile in the steal rate metric.
Malachi Smith (Gonzaga)
A transfer from Chattanooga, Smith has brought his hyper-efficient game to the Bulldogs. He is an elite shot-maker, ranking in the 100th percentile in catch-and-shoot three-pointers on 34 attempts. In addition, Smith is shooting a ridiculous 49% from deep on 71 attempts this season.
Nathan Mensah (SDSU)
Mensah is one of the biggest beneficiaries of a well-executed Aztec offense. He is in the 97th percentile or better in receiving cut drop-off passes at the basket and being the roll man in the P&R.
Naje Smith (Boise St.)
Smith has been excellent posting up on the right block this season but is in the 81st percentile as an efficient cut man this year. However, he has also been lethal when he gets out and runs in transition.
Daniel Akin (USU)
Akin, one of the best players at attacking the rim in the MWC, is in the 92nd percentile or better in efficiently attacking the rim and high-frequency in creating his own shot. His at the rim and driving to the basket SQ PPP are all in the top percentile despite over 150 occurrences.
Nick Davidson (Nevada)
Davidson is one of the best free-throw shooters on an already elite free-throw shooting team. He shoots 83% from the charity stripe while being an efficient cutter and a solid midrange shooter.
Vladislav Goldin (FAU)
The Russian big man is one of the reasons FAU has had an unprecedentedly wildly successful season. He is in the 83rd percentile or better in post-up shots while being an elite roll-man in the P&R.
Blake Preston (Liberty)
The forward’s ShotQuality profile is greener than the Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. He does little to create spacing, but he has been elite in everything he has done this season, including shooting from the post at both blocks and making shots off the cut and P&R.
Donovan Dent (New Mexico)
One of the few guards on this list so far, Dent is in the 95th percentile or better in shots at the rim and drives toward the basket. He is a high-frequency shot creator who can move to the left or the right, especially in isolation.
Tylor Perry (UNT)
Perry is the first repeat name on this list, as he is the leading scorer and most efficient player for the Mean Green this season. In addition, he may be the best shooter in the country, placing in the 97th percentile or better in off-the-dribble and catch-and-shoot three-pointers despite 185 attempts this season.
Tavin Lovan/Trey Jamison (UAB)
Lovan is in the 91st percentile in SQ PPP but has only had 114 possessions this season. Jamison is a tick under per SQ PPP, but the starting center has been elite as a roll-man and receiving drop-off passes cutting to the hoop.
Reyne Smith (CofC)
Smith is the leading SQ PPP guy for CofC despite placing in the 72nd percentile. The guard is an 87% free-throw shooter while being in the 90th percentile in high-frequency scoring off of passes (mainly catch-and-shoot three-pointers).
Max Abmas (Oral)
Swingman DeShang Weaver will eventually take this spot, but until then, it belongs to mid-court Max. Like North Texas’ Tylor Perry, Abmas is the team’s most efficient player and leading scorer, leaning on his elite three-point shooting ability (98th percentile in efficient three-point shooting).
Miryne Thomas (Kent St.)
Thomas is a stretch forward who places in the 90th percentile in three-point efficiency but is in the 77th percentile in efficiency attacking the rim. He has been excellent at receiving drop-off passes off the cut and being a quality post player on the right block.
DaRon Holmes (Dayton)
Holmes’ placement on this list should be no surprise, given the forward is shooting nearly 60% from the floor on 17.6 points per game. In addition, he is in the 93rd percentile in overall efficiency, being one of the best players in the country in driving to the basket.
Garrett Sturtz (Drake)
Sturtz has a well-rounded offensive game and is shooting a ridiculous 63% from the field this season. However, he is in the 99th percentile in the short midrange and 82nd in efficient three-point shooting.
Brandin Podziemski (SCU)
The Illinois transfer has been one of the best mid-major players in the country, placing in the 82nd percentile in SQ PPP on 19.5 points per game. In addition, the 6’5 guard has been a phenomenal shooter, sitting in the 98th percentile in three-point efficiency and the 92nd percentile or better in the midrange.
Darius Hannah (Bradley)
Hannah plays too consistent of a role not to be included on this list despite only 120 possessions calculated into his 1.25 SQ PPP (95th percentile). Additionally, he is in the 96th percentile in rim efficiency, being a more than capable back-to-the-basket player and exceptional receiving passes off the cut or the P&R.
Cameron Huefner (SHSU)
Huefner is one of the best sharpshooters on this list. The sniper is in the 100th percentile in efficient three-point shooting and is hitting at a 48% clip from deep.
Keshon Gilbert (UNLV)
The Nevada native is an all-around good shooter. He shoots 80% from the line, is in the 97th percentile in the short midrange, and 85th percentile in the catch-and-shoot three.
August Mahoney (Yale)
Mahoney is one of the best shooters for efficiency scoring off-ball. Moreover, he is in the 99th percentile in catch-and-shoot three-pointers, and 45 of them were guarded (95th percentile).
Brandon Johns (VCU)
The Michigan transfer has been effective in both the P&R and creating his own shot this season. He is in the 99th percentile as the roll-man this season, but he has been almost equally as good driving to the basket himself, especially to the left (93rd percentile).
Rudi Williams (BYU)
Williams, a former standout at Coastal Carolina, has been beyond excellent for the Cougars this season. He is in the 91st percentile or better in the midrange or off-the-dribble three but is also in the 85th percentile in driving to the rim.
Aziz Bandaogo (UVU)
The Dakar native is in the 98th percentile in SQ PPP on 217 possessions, as he is doing his best to replace the production left behind by Fardaws Aimaq. However, the double-double machine is in the 95th percentile in rolling to the basket and the 92nd percentile in the high three-throw rate metric. Additionally, he is in the 97th percentile in overall and rim efficiency.
Jalen Slawson (Furman)
The four-year starter has been the most efficient scorer for the Paladins this season. He pairs his 81% free-throw shooting to go along with being in the 83rd percentile in the high free-throw rate metric.
