8.) Nick McMullen – Georgia State
Stints at Murray State and UNC Asheville have allowed McMullen to flourish as a veteran leader for this rebuilt Georgia State roster, averaging 9.7 PPG and 10.3 RPG with 93 total rebounds. While that currently leads the Sun Belt, it also puts McMullen 20th nationally in rebounding after contributing 10 points and 12 rebounds in last week’s loss to Kennesaw State.

7.) Paulius Murauskas – Saint Mary’s
Currently 18th nationally in rebounding with 95 total rebounds, the Arizona transfer is averaging career-highs with a move to join the Gaels including 14.7 PPG and 9.5 RPG. After opening the season with three straight double-doubles, Murauskas more recently had 29 points and seven rebounds against Utah to lift Saint Mary’s to a 9-1 record as the Gaels leading scorer and rebounder.
