Kansas State basketball is sitting in a fairly good position right now midway through the season. The Wildcats are 14-5 overall and 4-2 in Big 12 conference play. Kansas State head coach Jerome Tang had only one returning starter from last year's Elite Eight starting lineup. Tang has been able to put a team on the court that is scrappy and can play with anyone.
So looking at this year's team, who is standing out above the rest? This is a really easy answer as three players immediately come to mind. While many young players on this team have a bright future, these three players are all veterans of college basketball and are showing their dominance.
So let's take a look at which players are showing they can lead their team to the NCAA Tournament in March.
