, junior, Memphis 

Roberts has been a leader over the last two years in Memphis. Averaging a team high 17.5 points per game and 5 rebounds. He has palyed a part is the 20 game winning streak his team is currently on and with Derek Rose(you'll be seeing him on the list a little farther down) on the court with him I believe that the Tigers will win out and without a doubt win the C-USA conference, and most likely a 1 seed come tournament time.

7. Sean Singletary, senior, Virginia

Singletary is probably one of the most underrated point guards in the college basketball, most likely do to the fact that he plays for a less then amazing Virginia team who are 11-8. Singletary leads the ACC in assists and is the only player from a major conference averaging over 6.5 assists and over 15 points a game(18.3.)

Without Singletary at point guard Virginia would without a doubt be under .500 and in the cdellar of the ACC.

8. Derek Rose, freshman, Memphis

Derek is the second leading scorer(14.1 points a game) for the nations number 1 team. While not coming into this season with the amount of hype of Beasley or Mayo, but as the Tigers continue to win and Dominate the polls. I have a feeling this is a name that we will be hearing more and more. Now he is only averaging around 5 assists and rebounds a game. He is playing on the nations top team and surronded by good players he doesnt have to put up Beasley type numbers.

9. Roy Hibbert, senior, Georgetown

Hibbert is a strong player averaging 13 points and 7 rebounds a year for a very good Georgetown team. However if I was making this list a year ago I would be talking about how Hibbert was going to be a lottery pick and how he was a top 5 player in the country. This isnt the case this year he is a strong player but not a top 5 player right now and come draft time, I believe that he will be a late first rounder, but he isn't getting the press that would of sky rocketed him to a lottery pick last season.

10. Bill Walker, freshman, Kansas State

Now some of you might see this and think the only reason that Walker is on this list, However that is completey wrong. Walker hasn't gotten any press this season seeing how he is playing next to Beasley. Walker was getting all the hype a year ago until he went out with a season ending injury. Walker is averaging an impressive 16 points a game and 7 rebounds a game. Walker had come up big in big games putting up an impressive average of 20 points against rated Big 12 teams(AandM and Kansas.)

  

That’s what I think feel—free to tell me what you think.
