This year the Preseason Player of the Year is Clayton Custer
As you can see, over the past 13 seasons - the preseason prediction has only been correct TWO TIMES...
(accuracy = 15% of the time) - and both times was when a clear & obvious NBA draft pick was a senior & was the best player in the conference (McDermott & Van Vleet)
will it happen again this year or will someone else emerge?
