Top 50 CCAA Players by Bill Crowdis – Efficiency and Impact

When I decided to come on board with NPH to cover CCAA basketball, it was to offer a unique perspective on Canadian College hoops.

During the first half of the season, we decided to double down on team rankings with a weekly Top 30 list as well as acknowledging 100 student-athletes through our Top 20 rankings, by each respective class.

While these rankings take into account many factors, they are still subjective in nature, as it is ultimately my opinion of who makes these lists and where they get placed.

With our Top 50 CCAA Player Ranking (regardless of class) we have decided to take a more objective approach, using an efficiency formula that factors player’s statistics such as points, rebounds, assists, turnovers, blocks & steals while incorporating shooting percentages from the field, 3-point range and free throw line, with a final analysis of efficiency per game and minutes played.

Most coaches would agree, a player’s value goes beyond just the points they score or the rebounds they grab. What’s most important, is how efficient they are with the minutes they play and how they contribute to the overall success of their team.

From this objective perspective, here are the CCAA’s Top 50 most efficient impact players at the mid point of the season.
