1. Rudy Gay. 20 points, 6 boards, 1 assist, and 1 steal. Rudy is a stud. He is the new human highlight reel and is just a gifted athlete. He has blossomed into one of the up and coming stars. Imagine having him on UConn’s team. It makes me sad just to think about it.2. Rip Hamilton. 18 points, 3 boards, 4 assists and 1 steal. Rip is a model of consistency. He gives you good shots and makes them. He is shooting .500. He is also a great defender on the perimeter and has an undying motor. You know that he is good for 10 or more points in every game.
3. Ray Allen. 18 points, 4 boards, 3 assists and 1 steal. Ray is having a great season, though he is down in almost every career statistic, because he is on a well rounded team. He has shot the ball better from downtown lately and has scored 32, 20, and 21 in his last three games.
4. Caron Butler. 21 points, 6 boards, 4 assists and 2 steals. Caron has the best stats of all the UConn alumni, but hasn’t played in almost a month, so he has dropped a few positions. It is a shame because he was emerging into a star at the time. Hopefully he can bounce back and perform in time for the playoffs.
5. Ben Gordon. 19 points, 3 boards, 2 assists. Ben has been fighting a bad wrist and missed a few weeks. He was turning around his slow start to the season and scoring more before he was injured. In his return game against the Nets, Ben shot 5 for 15 and 14 points. He is still not the Ben of old.
6. Emeka Okafor. 13 points, 11 boards and 1 block. Okafor is a double-double monster and in the game against Atlanta on the 13th, he scored 20 points and pulled down 21 boards. His numbers are slightly down from what he posted last year and his offensive output is inconsistent, scoring 9, 20 and 2 in his last three games.
7. Charlie Villanueva. 9 points and 5 boards. Charlie is back in the starting lineup but is only playing 20 or so minutes a game. His offense is a bit erratic taking 22 shots one game and then 10 in the next two.
8. Josh Boone. 7 points and 7 boards. Josh turned his ankle late in January but it is fine. He is beginning to get heftier minutes and is playing the role of rebounder, pulling down 15 in his last game. He is horrible at the free throw line shooting just .395.
9. Marcus Williams. 4 points, 1 board, and 1 rebound. With Kid gone, Marcus is playing more and is contributing, scoring 25 points, 4 boards and 4 dimes in his last game. He will continue to start until Harris returns.
10. Hilton Armstrong. 3 points and 2 boards. Hilton is relegated to 11 or so minutes a game but is contributing in those. He isn’t rebounding as well as he should but he is a reserve and plays sporadic minutes.
