When I look at the college landscape these days, I see a lot of versatile players. I'm talking about guys capable of doing lots of different things to help their teams to the winner's circle.

These players can make the big shot from the perimeter, post up inside, penetrate, create opportunities for their teammates, come up with the big rebound and defend at the big moment. I'm talking about complete players, guys who succeed at all facets of the game.

	Mike Dunleavy's diverse skills (including passing) make him a complete player.

Here is my favorite five, the most versatile players in America:

Let's start with the best of the best, Duke's Mike Dunleavy. Jason Williams of the Blue Devils is the nation's premier player. But when you talk about versatility and the most complete player, I would go with Dunleavy.

The son of former NBA player and coach Mike Dunleavy Sr. can beat you in many ways. He has become stronger physically, adding 20 pounds, plus he has grown to 6-foot-9. Dunleavy recently suffered an ankle injury, but when healthy, he can hurt you with his outside shot or beat you inside.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski has said that, other than Grant Hill, Dunleavy is the most complete player he's coached. Now that is really saying something, baby! Think of all the greats who have worn the Duke uniform under Coach K!

Tayshaun Prince of Kentucky has also displayed great versatility. Prince is certainly having a blue-chip season, and he made a great decision to return to college. Prince can make the big play at the end of the game. There's no doubt he wants the ball in winning time. It was vintage hoops watching Prince and Williams go head-to-head down the stretch at the Jimmy V Classic, the best non-conference regular-season game I have been a part of in my 23 years on television.

Prince can also stick the 3-pointer big-time. Just ask North Carolina coach Matt Doherty -- Prince hit five straight trifectas early against the Tar Heels.

Speaking of the Tar Heels, Jason Capel makes my list of most versatile players. North Carolina's front-court standout has come on after a slow start. He has posted some impressive numbers, and for the Tar Heels to be successful, Capel has to put points on the board and rebound to his potential.

Capel has become a key offensive threat for North Carolina. For the Heels to continue some of their current streaks -- 31 straight 20-win seasons, 37 consecutive years in the top three in the ACC, 27 straight NCAA berths -- Capel and buddy Kris Lang must provide solid play on the interior.

At UCLA, Jason Kapono has been dynamite shooting the trifecta. Believe me, he is not a one-dimensional player. When the Bruins lost Cedric Bozeman at the point-guard slot, Kapono stepped in and played some at that position. He distributed the basketball and showed some unselfishness. Kapono can go to the wing, he can go inside and he can score in transition by spotting up and shooting the three.

Rounding out my top five is Jared Jeffries of Indiana. The Hoosiers have had ups and downs early this season, playing a rugged schedule, with most of their games away from Bloomington. If Indiana is going to make noise in the Big Ten versus the likes of Illinois, Iowa and Michigan State, Jeffries has to reach his potential.

Jeffries has lots of talent; he can go inside and slash his way to the basket, and he can go outside. He is also a solid passer. But Jeffries must work on his consistency. The super soph has to have a big year in the Big Ten for IU to make the NCAA Tournament again.

There you have my All-Versatility team: Dunleavy, Prince, Capel, Kapono and Jeffries.
