While T.J. Ford

On top of that, Ford is the main reason Texas will win the national title this year.

Ford's ability as a pass-first point guard was well documented last year as Ford became the first freshman to lead the nation in assists and joined Jason Kidd as the only players to do it before their junior seasons.
...
What is overlooked when talking about Ford is his toughness.He's vocal on the court and his wiry frame makes him look like the typical end-to-end jet (which he is).Ford has never been one to avoid mixing it up with the big boys, as evidenced by an 11 rebound effort last year against Stanford.

I don't like to throw comparisons around freely, but watching Ford reminds me of another undersized point guard who knew how to win: Isaiah Thomas.
...
But how Ford does it is by making others better.
...
Texas coach Rick Barnes told Ford to take the free throw and ice the game.
...
With the Longhorns up four, Ford nodded then told Brandon Mouton to take it.

- While T.J. Ford may be the best player in the college game, I think Marquette's Dwyane Wade is making his case for most exciting.I know some pro scouts are drooling over the 6-5 junior guard, but I think he has some aspects of his game to work on before he's ready for the league.Wade still needs to extend his shooting range and learn to free himself up before he's ready to move to the next level.That being said, there are very few players in college who are as good at getting to the hoop as he is.He redefines the word explosive.
