This week's top performers:

Alex Condon (Florida)

Best Performance - 19 points, 10 rebounds, two 3PT makes in 23 mins versus Miami

Alex Condon continues to impress, this time with a fantastic showing against Miami. He finished efficiently inside, but his two three-point makes were the real revelation - an important skill for the big man's offensive upside.

Oscar Cluff (Purdue)

Best Performance - 14 points, 14 rebounds in 21 mins vs Akron

Oscar Cluff continues to hover around the 20 minutes a game mark, but is excelling in his time on the floor. He continues to prove his dominance on the glass, averaging more than 19 rebounds per 40 minutes.

Max Mackinnon (LSU)

Best Performance - 17 points, three assists, four rebounds vs Florida International

Mackinnon continues to start, and produce, for LSU. The three-ball has quietened, but Mackinnon got to the line for 7-from-8 from the charity stripe on his way to a week-best performance against FIU.

Austin Rapp (Wisconsin)

Best Performance - 15 points, eight rebounds, three blocks vs SIU Edwardsville

Rapp continues his seamless step up to Wisconsin, playing big minutes and producing with fantastic consistency. A good sign defensively is his six blocks over the last two games.

Anthony Dell’Orso (Arizona)

Best Performance - 20 points, 4-from-7 3PT versus UCLA

Anthony Dell’Orso continues his hot shooting from three, leading the scoring for Arizona off the bench against UCLA.

Dell'Orso's start has been so impressive that UCONN coach Dan Hurley proclaimed him to have a chance at making an NBA roster next season.

Jayden Stone (Missouri)

Best Performance - 12 points, four rebounds, five assists vs Prairie View A&M

It’s been a consistent offensive start for Jayden Stone, scoring in double digits in all five appearances thus far. He’s been efficient and distributed the ball, too.

Josh Hughes (Evansville)

Best Performance - 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists vs Middle Tennessee

Another beacon of consistency, Hughes also has an unbeaten streak of double-digit performances, sitting as Evansville’s second leading scorer and leading rebounder.

Sam Brown (Davidson)

Best Performance - 18 points, three rebounds, three assists vs Bowling Green

The son of Brett Brown had his best performance for Davidson thus far, including 4-8 from behind the arc.

Caleb Van De Griend (Idaho State)

Best Performance - 25 points, 10 rebounds vs Seattle

Transferring up to Division 1 for his final year of college basketball, Van De Griend has been a force inside for Idaho State, including a dominant performance against Seattle.

Fraser Roxburgh (Manhattan)

Best Performance - 19 points, eight rebounds vs Utah Tech

Roxburgh is really finding his footing as a sophomore, putting up a pair of 19-point performances and rebounding the ball at a high level. He was awarded All Tournament Team Honours at the 59th Rainbow Classic this week.

Chol Machot (Charleston)

Best Performance - 12 points, four blocks (25 mins) vs Liberty

A tough week of results for Charleston, but Machot continues flashes of brilliance in limited minutes. Once the foul rate goes down, the numbers should only go up.

Roman Siulepa (Pittsburgh)

Best Performance - 6 points, three rebounds vs West Virginia

It’s been quiet statistically for Siulepa this week, but he remains an intriguing talent to track as he grows through big minute opportunities against top college competition.
