    Guys outside top 50 for both ESPN and Rivals that could score over 10ppg. All these players are in good situations this year. I tried to stay away from guys who play in bad conferences like Lantwan Luckett for Alcorn St or Duwaun Anderson for Wagner.

     

    Jabarie Hinds, West Virginia– He is a good guard who can shoot and handle the ball. Hinds will most likely start alongside Truck Bryant and should make himself known.

     

    Joe Young, Houston– Former ESPNU top 100 guy for 2010, Young sat out last year after leaving Providence late and is one hell of a shooter and 2guard. I could see him averaging north of 15ppg.

     

    Ryan Anderson, Boston College– A nice face up four who will be playing on a rebuilding BC team that lacks experience and talent down low. Anderson will be asked to score the ball and I say he could get 13 or 14 per game.

     

    Jonathan Holmes, Texas– Holmes is a combo big who will play with a couple good guards, Kabongo and Brown. Like Anderson at BC, Holmes should take advantage of lack of experience in a front court that lost Tristan Thompson and Gary Johnson.

     

    Cezar Guerrero, Oklahoma St.- Guerrero is certaintly quick and can get into the lane with ease. Unlike the others on this list, Guerrero is playing with some very talented players like Keiton Page, JP Oluwikemi, and LeBryan Nash.

     

    Trey Burke, Michigan-This is the pick that is more of a long shot. From what I have been reading, Burke will be the starting PG, but Michigan has a few capable scorers. Burke could very well score 5ppg but I will go out on a limb and say he’ll get 9 or 10.

    Per ESPN’s rankings:

    Chasson Randle (#60, Stanford): Brandon Jennings-type, in that he melds a tremendous skill set with not ideal decision-making at times. He’s a dynamite scorer though and it was announced when he signed that he would start immediately, off the ball, meaning he has more of a green light on offense. 

    Julian Royle (#69, Georgia Tech): The Yellow Jackets have produced a good many top notch power forwards over the last few years (Chris Bosh, Thaddeus Young, Gani Lawal, Derrick Favors), and while Royal might not be a future lottery pick, he should fit comfortably in the starting lineup immediately. At 6-8, Royal can score from anywhere within 20 feet and make it look easy, but he’ll have to rev his motor more consistently.

    Malcolm Brogden (#74, Virginia): Already UVA’s best offensive weapon, it will be interesting to see if he can get enough playing time. Guards Joe Harris and K.T. Harrell have seniority but neither is a stud so with about 25 minutes a run a night Brogden should easily be able to put up double-digits.

    I like some of the names mentioned, especially Guerrero at OK State and might Joe Young at Houston. Guerrero reminds me of Denis Clemente with his speed and streaky jump shooting, and he’s a very entertaining guard who likes to score. And you know Travis Ford likes his squads to run and shoot alot. He should be striding at the end of the conference slate for the Cowboys. Houston likes to run as well, so Young’s jump shot should allow him to score in bunches as well.

     Look out for Sterling Gibbs at Texas too. He’s the younger brother of Ashton Gibbs out at Pitt, and he can shoot well and he’s a smooth scorer off the bounce too.

    Phil Greene at St. Johns (not sure where he ranked; but def not even in any top100)…
    He’ll be pressed into more action because of our lack of depth (only 7 scholarship players) due to three of our freshman being ruled ineligible. He had a nice exhibition game the other day puttting up 20 points on 8/10 shooting, including 4/6 from behind the line. Before the NCAA’s ruling, I thought 4-6 PPG from him would be solid for him but he’ll have to step it up; and now 10pts still may even be a stretch…but someone’s gonna have to score for my Jonnies! And he’s (from what I’ve read) a better shooter than D’angelo Harrioson and Nurideen Lindsey, so he’ll be in a lot of spot up situations from 3. He’ll compliment the slashing of Harrison and Lindsey with his shooting and can even make some plays for himself, being in that combo guard mold.

     Hinds is a solid player. One of my friends played on his AAU team a few years ago and had said good things about him.
