Top Ten UConn NBA Players

1. Caron Butler. 20.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists. He’s back and hasn’t skipped a beat, carrying the Wizards into the playoffs. He’s a stronger Paul Pierce, and is playing through hip and wrist injuries. He is a double-double beast and a budding superstar.

2. Ray Allen. 18.2 points, 3.9 boards, and 3 assists. Ray has been hot and cold from outside, but he is such a versatile player and still has deceptive speed. He is a major piece to the best team in the NBA. He is underrated at the defensive end and is a lock at the free throw line.

3. Rip Hamilton. 17.7 points, 3.3 boards, and 4.2 assists. Rip is quietly having a great season. He shoots the ball so well around screens that he is nearly impossible to stop. He is battling a sore left hip and sat a game but will be rested come the playoff.

4. Rudy Gay. 19.9 points, 6.1 boards, and 1.8 assists. Now Rudy is a player, probably the best athlete of the Huskies but he gets knocked down a couple of notches for being on a losing team. He is taking an enormous amount of shots, 28 in his last game, but he makes a good percentage of those. He rebounds and can finish around the rim like no other.

5. Ben Gordon. 19.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3 assists. Gordon has resurrected his season and has found his shot, hitting 4 of 9 from three in the past three games. He has struggled on defense and with the addition of Larry Hughes.

6. Emeka Okafor. 13.2 points, 10.9 boards, and 1.7 blocks. Don’t know what’s going on with Okafor. He hasn’t been in double figures in his last four games and looks to be slowing down. There are no rumors of injury but he has played less than 27 minutes in the past few games.

7. Charlie Villanueva. 10.7 points, and 5.8 rebounds. Hurt his ankle recently but hasn’t shot the ball well as of late, 4 for 18 in his last two games, but he has rebounded well.

8. Josh Boone. 8 points, and 7.2 boards. Boone has an arm injury and has played through it. He finally hit double digits with a game against the Cavaliers.

9. Marcus Williams. 5.7 points, 2 boards, and 2.7 assists. Lawrence Frank wants to see more intensity and consistency from Williams, and only played him for 4 minutes in his last ballgame.

10. Hilton Armstrong. 2.9 points and 2.4 rebounds. What’s going on with Armstrong? He has a total of 13 minutes in his last three games, with 3 points and 2 rebounds.
