By definition, the Final Four is chock full of talent. But even by those standards, this year is something else: No matter what you’re looking for — point-forwards or seven-footers, super seniors or fantastic freshmen, soon-to-be lottery picks or campus legends, the Dominican LeBron or a bunch of goofballs from the Balkans, this weekend in Indy will have you covered.

Just how deep can the Arizona, Michigan, UConn and Illinois rosters go? We stretched our ranking of the best players at the Final Four to 15 and still had a hard time narrowing things down. Heck, Braylon Mullins just hit one of the most memorable shots in men’s NCAA Tournament history, and he barely warrants an honorable mention. Which NBA-bound superstar claimed the top spot? And which of these four heavyweights claimed the most players on the list? Read on to find out.

15. C Tomislav Ivisic, Illinois

On the tallest team in American, hardly anyone stands taller than the 7-foot-1 Ivisic. He’s not quite as overwhelming a deterrent at the rim as his 7-foot-2 brother, Zvonimir, but he’s a true difference-maker on the offensive end — both for his work on the glass (8.2% offensive rebound rate) and his ability to stretch the floor. Although Ivisic only shoots 31.4% from 3 on the year, he’s not shy from out there, and his length and the space he creates for Keaton Wagler to cook are integral to what Illinois does.

14. F Ivan Kharchenkov, Arizona

After a slow start to his freshman season, Kharchenkov has blossomed into a true X-factor for these Wildcats, putting up 15 points and five assists in the Sweet 16 win over Arkansas before going for 18 and seven rebounds on 7-of-11 shooting against Purdue in the Elite Eight. His outside shooting runs hot and cold, but he’s a legitimate stopper on the wing at 6-foot-7, with physicality that shows up as a slasher and especially as a rebounder. If he’s playing with fire, Arizona is a whole different team.

13. F David Mirkovic, Illinois

Mirkovic might technically be a freshman, but good luck telling that to anyone who has the misfortune of having to bang bodies with him down on the block. He’s 20 years old, for starters, and years playing professionally in his native Montenegro have given him a grown-man physique that he’s not shy about throwing around. He’s all arms at 6-foot-9, a menace on both the offensive and defensive glass, and the fact that he’s a knock-down shooter from deep (37.6% on the season) is just the cherry on top. He’s sketchy at best as a creator, but with Wagler at the controls, he’s perfectly suited to doing all the dirty work.

12. G Silas Demary, UConn

Demary can often be the forgotten man in UConn’s starting five, but he’s quietly the engine that drives Dan Hurley’s perpetual motion machine of an offense, always ensuring that the Huskies get into their stuff and that the ball gets where it needs to go on time. (There’s a reason he led the Big East in assists this season.) He’s not much of a threat to score himself, but he knocked down two huge 3s in the miracle win over Duke, and if his outside shot has returned in time for the Final Four — he hit more than 40% from deep during the regular season — UConn becomes very difficult to guard.

11. F Andrej Stojakovic, Illinois

Illinois wants to put the ball in Wagler’s hands as often as possible, but on the occasions when he’s not doing it himself or spraying it to a shooter, Stojakovic is there to step up as a crucial secondary creator. Ironically enough considering the legacy of his sharpshooter dad, Peja, Andrej isn’t much of a threat from outside. But he’s a fearless bowling ball off the dribble, with an uncanny knack for taking contact and either finishing at the rim or getting to the line. He’s been white hot since the tourney began, averaging 17 points a game; Illinois will need this version of him to capture their first national title.

10. G Jaden Bradley, Arizona

While Arizona’s super-freshmen are running riot, Bradley is the cool, calm and collected vet, a senior guard who’s seen just about everything over his four years on campus. He’s not the athlete that Koa Peat and Brayden Burries are, but he’s more than capable of creating his own offense if things break down, and while he doesn’t often call his own number from deep, he’s shooting nearly 40% for the season from out there. As much as these Wildcats want to be all gas, no brakes, you need a leader who can get you organized and bail you out when things get tight.

9. F Morez Johnson Jr., Michigan

In a Final Four chock full of throwback, bully-ball big men, there might not be anyone more yoked-up than Johnson. (The sicko in me would love to see a Michigan-UConn final, just to watch he and Tarris Reed bang bodies down low.) He thrives close to the basket, both as a shot-blocker and rebounder on the defensive end and as a finisher on offense, but it’s his ability to coexist with 7-footer Aday Mara — sliding over to the 4 and even knocking down the occasional 3 — that makes him truly invaluable to this Michigan team.

8. C Motiejus Krivas, Arizona

Hey look, another 7-footer! For all the love given to their up-tempo offense, Arizona ranked second in the nation in defensive efficiency this season, per KenPom — and Krivas was the single biggest reason why. You can start with the obvious: He looks every bit of 7-foot-2, with arms that blot out the sun and make it awfully difficult to finish over him. But he’s also nimbler than you’d expect from a guy that big, with the ability to hold his own when guarding out on the perimeter and finish the occasional post-up.

7. F Alex Karaban, UConn

You wouldn’t know it from his 1-for-6 performance from deep against Duke, but Karaban is one of the most dangerous shooters in this entire tournament — both because of his ability to connect from just about any distance in just about any context, but also because of how relentlessly Dan Hurley runs him through a gauntlet of screens and off-ball actions. The lone remaining connective tissue to UConn’s back-to-back title runs in 2023 and 2024, Karaban is more than just a shooter; he’s a leader who hardly ever comes off the floor, and a much more impactful defender than you might expect thanks to his smarts and length.

6. F Koa Peat, Arizona

Peat’s lack of shooting touch (he’s a 61.6% foul shooter who’s made just six 3s all year) can leave him prone to lulls. But when he’s got it going, there are few more impressive sights in the country: a 6-foot-8, 235-pound blur determined to get to the rim by sheer force of will. Peat is coming off of consecutive 20-point games (on a combined 17-of-29 shooting) against Arkansas and Purdue, showcasing just how difficult a cover he can be if the Wildcats are able to get out in transition. He’s also, as his frame would suggest, a hellacious defender, capable of guarding up or down the positional spectrum as needed. There might not be a more high-variance player in Indy this weekend.

5. C Aday Mara, Michigan

Well, OK, there might be one. Mara can sometimes take himself out of games, part of the reason why Mick Cronin foolishly ran him out of town at UCLA. But when he’s engaged and confident, good luck. Mara at times looks like a Rudy Gobert clone on the defensive end, fifth in the country in block rate thanks to his 7-foot-3 frame and crazy wingspan. That same length makes him a nightmare on the offensive glass as well, and his underrated ability as a passer helps keep Michigan’s offense snappy. Mara is one of a handful of players still left in the tournament capable of turning a game on his own, so unique is his combination of size and skill — particularly as a defender.

4. G Brayden Burries, Arizona

Amid all the sensational freshman this season — including one on his own team in Peat — Burries has flown under the radar a bit. But he’s been on a heater since the Big 12 Tournament began, and this Final Four could well be his coming-out party on a national stage. Burries has hit 13 of his 19 3s in this tournament run, and that’s not a fluke: He’s a dead-eye shooter, one more than capable of putting the ball on the deck and hurting you if you overcommit to running him off the line. At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, he’s a physical defender as well, making him darn near the total package for an Arizona team that increasingly goes as he goes.

3. C Tarris Reed, UConn

He doesn’t have the overwhelming size and length of Krivas, and he doesn’t project nearly as well to the next level as Mara. But over two years at Michigan followed by two years at UConn, Reed has slowly but surely developed into one of the very best bigs in the entire country — and this NCAA Tournament run is his crowning achievement.

Braylon Mullins’ shot will live in March lore forever, but Reed’s 26 points and nine rebounds were the reason the Huskies were even within shouting distance of Duke in the first place. The senior is averaging 21.8 points, 13.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks over the tournament as a whole, and no one — not even Cameron Boozer or Patrick Ngongba — have been able to guard him on the low block. He’s a bear to keep off the glass, he protects the rim and he’s even deft at passing out of double teams that have become an increasingly common occurrence in recent weeks. He’s the heart and soul of this Huskies team, and watching him go up against Ivisic and Illinois’ frontcourt will be a blast.

2. G Keaton Wagler, Illinois

Watching him, you wonder exactly how Wagler does it. He was a relatively anonymous recruit, without top-end explosiveness, and he’s still just beginning to fill out his gangly 6-foot-6 frame. And yet, in a historic freshman class, Wagler has been about as productive as anybody, using a lethal stepback 3 — he’s shooting over 40 percent from deep on the year on a ridiculously tough diet — and elite vision to become more or less a one-man offense for the Illini.

If you squint, it’s not hard to see a little of Tyrese Haliburton in his game, a true point forward with a gravity all his own and the ability to guard across multiple positions thanks to his height. He dropped 32 to power Illinois past Iowa in the Elite Eight, and it’ll take something similar to keep this magical run going.

1. F Yaxel Lendeborg, Michigan

It took a little while, but ever since he broke in at UAB three seasons ago, Lendeborg has been on a meteoric ascent. It’s hard to identify anything the 6-foot-9 Swiss army knife doesn’t do well, especially now that he’s turned his 3-point shot from non-existent (he made just 12 in his first Division I season) to a weapon (37.2% this year on good volume). He’s ruthlessly efficient as a scorer from all three levels, and he has the size and athleticism to guard pretty much any position on the court. Oh, and he’s a more than capable passer who also hardly ever turns the ball over.

There are some questions about what his ultimate position will be at the next level, but that’s for the NBA to figure out. Right now, he’s a do-it-all superstar, with the fewest weaknesses of any player at the Final Four.
