Early polling puts UConn's Kemba Walker ahead of OSU's Jared Sullinger
Michael Rothstein of AnnArbor.com puts together a bi-monthly poll to determine the consensus of who's the nation's best men's basketball player.
The poll participants vote for the Wooden, Naismith, AP and Oscar Robertson awards. I've participated in Rothstein's poll in the past and continue this year because I vote for the Naismith Award, given to the top player in college basketball. In all, 55 people vote in the poll.
In Rothstein's edition, Connecticut's Kemba Walker has the lead over Ohio State's Jared Sullinger. BYU guard Jimmer Fredette is in third place.
My initial selections were: 1. Sullinger; 2. Walker; 3. Illinois' Demetri McCamey
