Zach Edey was the most dominant player in college hoops this season. He controlled the paint with his 7-foot-4 frame. He averaged 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 32 minutes. And he helped lead Purdue to the national championship game, where he scored 37 of the team's 60 points in a loss to the UConn Huskies, who won back-to-back titles. Twenty years ago, the NBA world would be talking about Edey as the runaway favorite for the No. 1 overall pick. But the game has changed significantly.
Traditional, back-to-the-basket centers have been replaced with floor spacers who can handle the ball and knock down shots along the perimeter.
