Making It Rain: The MAAC's Most Dangerous Scorers

Charron Fisher. Keke Clark. Andre Collins. Juan Mendez. Luis Flores.

Those are five names you should recognize if you have constantly perused college basketball's scoring charts over the last five years. All five were MAAC stars who wooed fans with their scoring abilities.

Fisher, who finished second in the nation with 27.6 points per game in 2007-08, is the last MAAC player to crack the top five. Last year, Jamal Barney led the MAAC with 18.1 points per game.

This is a slide-show of the MAAC players most likely to finish this year as one of the country's best scorers.

No. 5 Edwin Ubiles

After posting 17 points per game as a sophomore, Edwin Ubiles saw his average dip to 15 as a junior. Ubiles can largely attribute the drop to his inconsistent long-range shooting, which fell to 30.9 percent from a whopping 42 percent, and Siena's depth.

Siena is just as deep if not deeper than they were last year, so Ubiles will likely be unable to eclipse his sophomore average.

Someone who benefits from Siena's uptempo offense, Ubiles will score a lot on the break. He will also knock down a considerable amount of mid-range and long-range jumpers and will score off the drive.

No. 4 Wesley Jenkins

He's not the best player on Saint Peter's—you can give that title to Ryan Bacon—but Wesley Jenkins is a chucker and can score the basketball, albeit inefficiently.

Jenkins has been launching bombs since he arrived at Jersey City two years ago and already has 817 career points.

A dreadful field goal percentage and inconsistent foul-shooting have prevented Jenkins from averaging 20 points per game; but, his team only has two other scoring options, so he will be relied upon for buckets. If he can raise his percentages, he'll be extremely dangerous.

No. 3 Jamal Barney

Despite the signing of Robert Olson, Loyola Md. will still depend on Jamal Barney to launch another 500 shots this year. It'll be a plus for Barney if he improved his efficiency. However, chances are he is still an erratic shooter and will not improve his scoring mark.

Nonetheless, he'll have plenty of opportunities and will be one of the MAAC's best scorers.

No. 2 Ryan Thompson

Although Ryan Thompson had the best year of his career as a junior, it will be hard for him to improve his scoring average of 18 points per game as a senior.

Thompson, who MAAC coaches recently chose as the conference's Preseason Player of the Year, is a great athlete and shoots for high percentages from everywhere on the floor. He's still Rider's go-to-guy and will lead them in scoring again.

Expect Thompson to replicate his junior year statistics.

No. 1 Tyrone Lewis

Tyrone Lewis has seen his field goal percentage consistently drop as his shot totals have increased.

Lewis has always struggled to get hot when he starts cold. If he is more careful with his shot selection, a higher percentage of shots will fall and it will be easier for Niagara's best scorer to keep his hand hot.

Lewis averaged just under 15 field goal attempts per game last year and only connected on five. If he can hit two more shots per game this year, he'll crack 20 points per game—it's not out of the realm of possibility.
