2023 March Madness 10 best players by region: East
6. Markquis Nowell, Kansas State, G
The Bob Cousy award finalist has been the x-factor for the Wildcats throughout their Big 12 run, helping turn the program from a 14-17 record last year to a 23-9 record this season. The 5-foot-8 guard may catch some by surprise but Nowell has become one of the top scorers in all of college basketball, filling it up from behind the arc at a 35% clip. Averaging 16.8 points and 7.6 assists on the year, the Kansas State star has teamed up perfectly alongside Keyontae Johnson this season to provide a squad that is more than capable of a deep March run.
