Top 5 players to watch out for in the 2022 NCAA March Madness tournament

#2 NCAA Tournament: Oscar Tshiebwe - Kentucky Wildcats

Oscar Tshiebwe is a player of the year candidate looking to lead his team to a national championship.

The Kentucky Wildcats' Oscar Tshiebwe may not lead the nation in triple-doubles like Walker Kessler, but he does lead in double-doubles with 27. Tshiebwe is one of the nation's elite big men and will try to use his size to take seventh-ranked Kentucky (26-7) to its ninth national championship.

Tshiebwe is a Defensive Player of the Year candidate like Kessler, while also a Naismith Player of the Year finalist.

Tshiebwe will need to be the player Dick Vitale believes him to be. Kentucky is at its best when Tshiebwe performs well on both ends as he creates space on offense and erases space on defense.

Many have UK as the favorites to win the East.
