LAGUNA NIGUEL, Ca. – The nation’s two top teams, Gonzaga and Baylor, combined for five of the 15 BurlisonOnBasketball All-Americans covering the 2020 portion of the 2020-21 season.
One of the three Gonzaga players chosen, senior Corey Kispert, is the choice as the “2020” Player of the Year after averaging 21.1 points per game – while knocking in .511 of his 58 attempts from behind the arc – during his team’s 9-0 start.
A strong case can be built that Kispert (pictured) is not only the best jump shooter but also the most efficient offensive player in college hoops, as his overall field-goal percentage of .611, free-throw rate of .880 and just six turnovers would support.
The top coach for the 2020 segment of this season is Rick Barnes of Tennessee with Kelvin Sampson (Houston), Mark Few (Gonzaga) and Scott Drew (Baylor) following closely in the consideration for the top spot.
