Top Ten UConn NBA Players

1. Caron Butler. His monster season continues. He is averaging 21.7 points, 7 boards, 4.4 assists, and .378 from downtown.

2. Emeka Okafor. The defensive specialist is averaging a double-double with 12.8 points, 10.3 boards, 1.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals a game. He scored, 19 points and 14 boards, in his last two games.

3. Rip Hamilton. His game has started taking off. He is averaging 18 points, 3.4 boards, 4.5 assists, and .423 percentage from three. He is shooting the ball better, but he is below his average at the free throw line.

4. Ray Allen. Not far behind Rip, Allen is at 17.6 points, 3.9 boards, 3 assists and .369 from three. He isn’t as accurate from long range so far, going 2 for 7, 2 for 8, and 2 for 6 from deep.

5. Rudy Gay. He is averaging 19 points a game, 5.6 rebounds, and hitting the three ball. His minutes have increased and he is making spectacular plays in transition. He is a streaky scorer getting 31 in a loss to the Kings.

6. Ben Gordon. His numbers mirror Gay’s. He is averaging 19 points, but his rebounding and outside shooting are slightly worse. His game is slowly coming around but it is under his normal average. He went for 21, 15, and 6 points in his last three games.

7. Charlie Villanueva. His minutes are down and so are most of his stats. He’s shot well, 6 for 15, in his last three games.

8. Josh Boone. He is getting more playing time and is finding his role. His points per game are increasing and he is rebounding with tenacity.

9. Hilton Armstrong. Only getting 11 minutes a game, Hilton is only getting 3 points a game and 2.7 rebounds.

10. Jake Voskuhl. He’s playing in reserve but gets 3 points, 2.4 boards in 10 minutes.
