ESPNinsider Hollinger has taken his NBA PER rankings and done so for college players. What I find surprising is that 'Cuse has 6 players in the Top 20 in the BE while KY has 3 players in the
Top 20 in the SEC. Also Hollinger equates each college to others so PER can be compared.
[B]Anthony Davis is far[/B] and away the leader in this comparison. However, as shown in chart below [B]'Cuse has more players and averagely better player ratings[/B] than KY.  Surprising that the EYE Test and hoopla around the KY players may be just that...they are good [B]but so is the 'Cuse team...equal or better using this metric.[/B]
 
Hollinger would indicate that a team with higher PERs is the team that should win a game compared to competition. You will be somewhat surprised when you look at this metric that includes per minute results of scoring, defense, assisting, rebounding, TOs etc.
 
Bottom line is 'Cuse's 1-6 players are very good and that the team is led again by Dion, Kris, BT, Scoop and Fab according to these rankings. KY will give 'Cuse a very tough game but I believe that 'Cuse wins.
