Butler ranked the 8th best player in College Basketball.

Using statistical data from this season, adjusted for the strength of opponents faced, Evan Miyakawa (who most are familiar with and probably the most recognized data analytics guy in CBB) ranks the best players in CBB this season - measured in regard to impact on winning games today.

Lamont Butler ranks as the 8th best player in CBB, with Oweh 12th and Williams 13th. Kentucky is the only school with more than two players ranked among the Top 15. Only Auburn has more in the Top 25 with five making the list. As far as I know, none of the other teams are missing one these top players. (I tried to copy and paste the list, but couldn't get it to work. Maybe a more internet savvy poster can do it).

Don't keep us in suspense...Tell us -
Who said "Numbers do not lie?"
And while you're at it, WHAT is your point?

This can't be true because the KSR guys just said that losing Butler wasn't that big of a deal unless teams liked to press and put pressure on the PG.

Can’t be true, I was told all year UK doesn’t have any talent.

This indicates KY has 3 of the top 13 in the country … !!! Amazing to see Auburn shows 5 of the top 20, too !!
