Here's the final installment of this season's CBSSports.com National Player of the Year Watch -- where Jeff Goodman and Gary Parrish put their heads together, call each other names and rank the top players deserving of national recognition.

Thomas Robinson led nearly the entire year, but Kentucky frosh Anthony Davis wouldn't go away -- and caught Kansas' big man in the final week of the season.

Davis was the most intimidating defensive player in the nation for much of the season, but he also displayed his offensive repertoire the last couple of weeks -- which included far more than the alley-oops he was catching early in the season.

Michigan State's Draymond Green was also in the equation, but the Spartans do-it-all senior -- along with Creighton's skilled forward Doug McDermott and Ohio State's Jared Sullinger - were battling for the bronze for the final month of the season.

This became a two-horse race -- and while it was sad someone had to lose -- there was no shame in finishing as the runner-up this year.

1. Anthony Davis

Position: F
School: Kentucky
Class: Freshman
Ht: 6-10 Wt: 220
Comment: We decided to give the CBSSports.com National Player of the Year award to Anthony Davis because he‘s the best player on the best team, and because he changes the game more than anybody else in the country. That‘s the bottom line. Last week: No. 2

2. Thomas Robinson

Position: F
School: Kansas
Class: Junior
Ht: 6-10 Wt: 237
Comment: Robinson didn‘t really do anything to lose the top spot other than not be as good and complete as Davis. There is no wrong pick between the two. We just picked this way. Last week: No. 1

3. Draymond Green

Position: F
School: Michigan State
Class: Senior
Ht: 6-7 Wt: 230
Comment: Green is the main reason -- besides Tom Izzo, of course -- that the Spartans went from unranked in the preseason to a No. 1 seed. He‘s a great player and a terrific leader, one of Izzo‘s favorites ever. Last week: No. 4

4. Doug McDermott

Position: F
School: Creighton
Class: Sophomore
Ht: 6-7 Wt: 220
Comment: Can McDermott do for Creighton what Steph Curry once did for Davidson? If his teammates make shots in the NCAA tournament, yes, absolutely. Last week: No. 3

5. Jared Sullinger

Position: F
School: Ohio State
Class: Sophomore
Ht: 6-9 Wt: 265
Comment: Sullinger‘s sophomore season was about like his freshman season. That means he‘s been consistently good for two years. Now let‘s see if he‘ll play a third in college. Last week: No. 5

6. Tyler Zeller

Position: F
School: North Carolina
Class: Senior
Ht: 7-0 Wt: 250
Comment: Remember when folks wondered if Zeller would ever stay healthy enough to be great? That was silly, wasn‘t it? Last week: No. 6

7. Isaiah Canaan

Position: G
School: Murray State
Class: Junior
Ht: 6-0 Wt: 193
Comment: Canaan is the first guard on our list, and that‘s reflected in our All-American teams. He‘s Murray State‘s best player and capable of carrying the Racers deep into the bracket. Last week: No. 9

8. Kendall Marshall

Position: G
School: North Carolina
Class: Sophomore
Ht: 6-4 Wt: 195
Comment: Marshall is the best pure point guard in the country and just a joy to watch. Tyler Zeller is a bigger scorer, and John Henson and Harrison Barnes are better prospects. But Marshall might be UNC‘s most important player. Last week: NR

9. Marcus Denmon

Position: G
School: Missouri
Class: Senior
Ht: 6-3 Wt: 185
Comment: Denmon‘s 0-for-10 performance in the Big 12 semifinals didn‘t cost Missouri a win, which speaks to the talent surrounding him. He rebounded and got 15 points in the title game and could shoot the Tigers to a Final Four. Last week: No. 7

10. Will Barton

Position: G
School: Memphis
Class: Sophomore
Ht: 6-6 Wt: 175
Comment: Barton has consistently filled up box scores and turned Memphis into a scary team as the Tigers enter the NCAA tournament. He can slash and score in a lot of different ways, and he‘s one of the nation‘s best rebounding guards. Last week: No. 10
