8.) Javian McCollum – Oklahoma
A move up from the MAAC to the high-level atmosphere of the Big 12 hasn’t fazed McCollum who’s averaging a team-leading 14.6 PPG, adding a career-high 3.9 APG, and putting together performances such as 17 points against Kansas and 16 points at Cincinnati.
7.) Jesse Edwards – West Virginia
Following four seasons at Syracuse for the Amsterdam, Netherlands native, a move to West Virginia has posed new problems in managing a 7-12 record in Morgantown, yet Edwards averages a career-high 14.8 PPG despite the struggles.
