10) Omar Calhoun, Guard, University of Connecticut
Potential. That is the word you have to use when you are looking at Omar. In his freshman campaign this season, he averaged 11.1 ppg, which is a really nice number. He showed his inexperience at points, but also showed us spurts of unbelievable shooting, which gives Uconn fans some hope for next season, in what will be a new beginning in a new conference.
9) Ryan Boatright, Guard, University of Connecticut
Although Ryan once was considered a great NBA prospect, and a sure first round pick, the interest really isn't there anymore. This is not to say that he won't make a team, but his future isn't as clear now. He still has his senior year to prove us wrong though. In 2012-'13 he averaged 15.4 ppg, and 4.4 apg.
8) Fuquan Edwin, Guard/Forward, Seton Hall University
Fuquan had another great season as the centerpiece of Seton Hall's program, and put up an impressive 16.5 ppg, and almost 6 rpg. He too, has his senior year left, which buys him time to move up on the scouting boards. He has the potential to be a threat down low in the NBA, and I can imagine his scoring next season will only go up.
7) Aaron Craft, Point Guard, The Ohio State University
If there is the ideal All-American-Kid, it has to be Aaron Craft. On top of averaging just a bit under 10 ppg, 3.6 rpg, and 4.6 apg, he maintains a 3.9 GPA as a pre-med major. He still has his senior year as well, and hey if the whole basketball thing doesn't work out maybe you will have an appointment with Dr. Craft.
6) Bryce "Ice" Cotton, Guard, Providence College
Yet another junior, Bryce Cotton is one of the most prolific shooters in the Big East. He drove Providence to the NIT while averaging almost 20 ppg. He is currently projected as a 2nd round pick in 2014, but who knows, his senior year may impress some teams even more.
5) Shabazz Napier, Guard, University of Connecticut
Another Uconn guard hits the top 10, and this one is the best of all. Although still marked as selfish by some(including me), this guy can score, which is why he averaged over 17 ppg, and should go right near Bryce in the 2014 draft.
4) Brandon Triche, Guard, Syracuse University
Although he started the year on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Triche had his struggles this season. By the end of the season he righted the ship however, averaged almost 14 ppg, and will be another 2nd rounder at some point.
3) C.J. Wilcox, Guard, University of Washington
Again a junior(boy am I saying that a lot), C.J. Wilcox is a pure scorer. While he averages almost 17 ppg, he doesn't have great other numbers, but his scoring will lead him to be a 1st rounder in 2014.
2) Steven Adams, Center, University of Pittsburgh
Only the second freshman to make the list, Adams is quite the prospect. His 7 foot frame helped him get over 6 rpg, and experience is all he needs. He could possibly go first round whenever he decides to declare. 2014 at the earliest, but I don't see why another 2 years would hurt.
1) Michael Carter-Williams, Guard, Syracuse University
Although he made a complete bonehead move off the court, Michael Carter-Williams was lucky to be able to showcase his insane assist and scoring skills on the court. He is the most polished of Syracuse's stars from this year, and is probably the most well rounded. He averaged 12 ppg, and almost 8 apg, and could very well be a lottery pick in this year's draft.
