5 Players To Watch During March Madness 2022

Jabari Smith (Auburn +1400)

Jabari Smith Most Outstanding Player Odds: +2500

Not only is Jabari Smith an absolute stud, no top team may be more reliant on a single player than the Auburn Tigers are on him (they have talent, but he is THE GUY). If Jabari gets hot and moves the ball well this team could make a legitimate run at the title, but they’re also liable for an early upset if he goes cold.

Think Smith (or a teammate) will hit a three-pointer in their opening game against the Titans? Then, BetMGM has the offer for you!

Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga +380)

Chet Holmgren Most Outstanding Player Odds: +950

Aside from the fact that he moves like a baby giraffe that hasn’t quite figured out its body, Chet Holmgren is an absolute stud. He averages almost a double double per game while adding 3.6 blocks, which makes him a nightmare for any team to deal with. He could push the Bulldogs as far as a trophy, but look for teams to attack him early to try to get him in foul trouble. That very well could be the difference in their survival.

Peter Kiss (Bryant +50000)

Peter Kiss Most Outstanding Player Odds: N/A

Bryant is almost certainly going to get knocked out in the first Round, but Peter Kiss can score the fucking basketball and for that reason alone they’re worth checking out. Kiss leads CBB with 25.1 points per game on the season and, even if their first round opponent effectively doubles him all night, he’s still a talented enough scorer to find some points. Make sure you tune into that one for at least a few minutes to enjoy.

Kofi Cockburn (Illinois +5000)

Kofi Cockburn Most Outstanding Player Odds: +6000

Yes, the absolutely hilarious name would likely be enough on it’s own to make him relevant, but Cockburn is an animal with a range of inside moves that a big man his size simply should not have. Unfortunately, his 61% Free Throw percentage could be a huge issue for the Illini who seems insistent on exiting the tournament early every season, but against less talented teams who don’t have the size to match up, Kofi could absolutely destroy a team or two by himself.

Silvio De Sousa (Chattanooga +40000)

Silvio De Sousa Most Outstanding Player Odds: N/A

This name probably doesn’t ring a bell for most of you, but go look up the Kansas-Kansas State fight from a couple of years ago and the image of him holding up a chair certainly will. Chattanooga has no business being as good as they are, and a lot if has to do with a 5 star recruit in De Sousa, who never would have sniffed the program, ending up in their lap after his NCAA discipline. This team could be the Cinderella of the tournament because they won’t be completely outmatched against bigger programs with De Sousa down low guarding the rim.
