6. Raequan Battle, West Virginia: 33.5 FPTS/G
Despite a lengthy battle for eligibility with the NCAA, two-time transfer Raequan Battle was finally able to take the court on December 20th. For Mountaineers fans Battle has been everything they could have asked for and more. Battle is averaging 21.4 ppg with just one game under 20 against No.3 Houston. A WVU team that struggled mightily with a heavily depleted roster at the beginning of the season was in serious need of a spark, and Raequan Battle has been lightning in a bottle for this team.
5. Allen Flanigan, Ole Miss: 35.2 FPTS/G
After following in his father’s footsteps by starting his career at Auburn, transfer guard Allen Flanigan decided to switch to Ole Miss after his father took a job on new head coach Chris Beard’s first staff with the Rebs. Flanigan is showing out in his first season in Oxford and helping Ole Miss out to a 13-1 start. The 6-6 senior has unbelievable size and speed for a guard. Flanigan is an efficient scorer with 16.2 ppg on 42% shooting. However, Flanigan is also the team leader in rebounding from his guard position, averaging 7.3 per night.
