Jeremy lamb
There is a faction of the college basketball fans who can not understand why the Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun will not be retired. Here's a better question: Why would it be?
As good as they won the NCAA title last season, there is the possibility that the Huskies could be even better. Yes, a standout guard Kembo Walker is gone, but the team will return to Calhoun's second important piece of the team that ended the 2010-11 campaign with 11 consecutive victories.
Alex Oriakhi, Roscoe Smith, Napier Shabazz, Tyler Olander Giffey Niels and should play an important role in this season. Therefore, they must also recruit DeAndre Daniels said, an attacker who chose Connecticut in the spring of schools like Kansas and Texas.
No player, but will receive preseason hype as much as a guard Jeremy Lamb, who averaged 16.1 points in the NCAA tournament last season as a rookie.
Suddenly, a player who started last season in relative obscurity - Lamb became the 76th player classified as Rivals.com 's in 2010 - is projected as a first-round pick in the NBA draft next summer. It is also a safe bet to earn preseason All-Big East honors with some of the other stars on my list of top 10 players.
G Ashton Gibbs, Pittsburgh, senior - standout long-range averages a team high 16.8 points last season Big East champions. Gibbs also shot 88.9 percent from the foul strip and connected to a Big East best 49 percent (102 of 208) of his 3-point attempts.
G Jeremy Lamb, Connecticut, sophomore - Lamb was the most popular player not named Kemba Walker Huskies during the race last year in the NCAA. He averaged 11.1 points in the first year and rise to the greatness of Jim Calhoun team to be highly successful in the post-Walker.
Darius Johnson-Odom G, Marquette, senior - a player 6 feet 2 inches ranks second on the team with 15.8 points per game average last season for Sweet 16 squad. Known to play his best in the clutch, Johnson-Odom needs to improve its long-term efficacy (36.4 percent) this season.
F Kris Joseph, Syracuse, Sr. - a season after averaging 14.3 points, Joseph is to produce more offense after the departure of Rick Jackson 2011-12. Joseph is one of the most versatile players in the Big East, as 6-foot-7 Canadian has the ability to handle the ball and score from anywhere.
Mouphtaou yarou F, Villanova, Junior - One of the Big East Top NBA has a huge potential upside. Coach Jay Wright is hoping that this is the revolutionary yarou a season. Athletic, 6-foot-10 yarou an average of 8.4 points and 7.1 rebounds in 24 minutes a game last season.
Alex F Oriakhi, Connecticut, Junior - Oriakhi second place in the Big East sophomore with 8.7 rebounds per game. "Dirty Work" of experts also blocked 1.6 shots per game. Do not be surprised if it becomes increasingly important leading scorer in 2011-12.
F Tim Abromaitis, Notre Dame, senior - Aside from Ben Hansbrough, Abromaitis Fighting Irish offensive weapon at the top of the 27-7 season last year. He averaged 15.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 42.9 percent shooting from 3-point line. We will have to accelerate in the absence of Hansbrough.
F Yancy Gates, Cincinnati, senior - The 6 feet 9 inches and 265 pounds Gates is one of the most physically imposing forward in the league. Despite its size, he played nearly 30 minutes per game and averages 11.9 points for a Bearcat squad that was one of the biggest surprises in the league.
G Malik Wayns, Villanova, Junior - No one would be shocked if Wayns become one of the top guards this season. Heck, it was not too shabby as a sophomore when he averaged 13.8 points contest. Find Wayns to assume greater leadership in the rear courtyard, now that Corey Stokes and Corey Fisher will be gone.
Peyton Siva G, Louisville, juniors - Siva, who finished fourth in the league with 5.2 assists per game last season, should improve significantly from their second album in his junior season. He is a tireless worker in the defense made two steals per game in 2010-11.
F Hollis Thompson, of Georgetown, Junior - 6-foot-7 Thompson played with the thought of turning pro before finally decides to go back to school. He averaged 8.6 points last season, guard-oriented team. His numbers should get a boost with the departure of Austin Freeman, Chris Wright and Jason Clark.
