Cooper Flagg '25 (2.759) currently trails only Frank Kaminsky '15 (2.794) in highest KenPom Player of the Year ranking (2011-present)
KenPom changed up his formula for KPOTY in '13, so this doesn't capture a ton of college basketball history. Still, impressive stuff from Flagg when looking at his performance to date. Here are the 10 highest KPOTY rankings since '13 (active seasons in bold):
- Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin '15 2.794
- Cooper Flagg, Duke '25 2.759
- Zach Edey, Purdue '24 2.699
- Russ Smith, Louisville '13 2.636
- Trey Burke, Michigan '13 2.194

- Jarrett Culver, Texas Tech '19 2.063

EDIT: Had Trey Burke in the wrong spot.
