The NCAA has narrowed the field for the 2018 Naismith Award, listing Arizona's Deandre Ayton, Duke's Marvin Bagley, Kansas' Devonte' Graham, and Villanova's Jalen Brunson as the four finalists to be named the nation's top player.
All four are having sensational seasons, but Ayton and Bagley have been particularly impressive, as both are pegged as potential top-five draft selections.
Previous winners of the prestigious hardware include Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis.
The winner of the 2018 award will be announced April 1.
