It is my honor to announce that Ohio State freshman Jared Sullinger is the winner of the inaugural kPOY. This season, Sullinger posted a 120.4 offensive rating while using 27% of the Buckeyes\u2019 possessions while he was on the floor. The Buckeyes’ center also ranked in the top 50 nationally in both offensive and defensive rebounding percentage, and fouls drawn per minute. This, combined with Ohio State\u2019s season-long excellence, allowed Sullinger to hold off an admirable post-season charge from UConn\u2019s Kemba Walker.  Congratulations, Jared.<\/p>\n

\n(Replica of kPOY trophy. Actual trophy may look different once it is produced. But I think a guy holding a basketball while jumping off a basketball is the way to go.)<\/p>\n

In addition, there are conference kPOY\u2019s to dole out. Asterisks indicate a difference with the official conference player of the year winner, of which there are many. Thanks for following the kPOY all season long. <\/p>\n
