Shooting Guards
Damian Lillard (Weber State) – Third Team
Dame Lillard played four years at Weber State and slid under the radar of a ton of NBA scouts. In his four years as a Wildcat, Dame won two conference Player of the Year awards (during his sophomore and senior years).
He started forcing people to take notice in 2012 while averaging 24.5 ppg, 5 rpg, and 4 apg. His blow up of a senior year got him drafted by Portland with the 6th pick in the first round.
Evan Turner (Ohio State) – Second Team
Evan Turner had a different role in college than he does in his pro career. Ohio St. made him very ball dominate and ran the offense through him. In the 2009-2010 season, Turner won AP POY averaging 20.4 ppg, 9.2 apg, and 6 apg. He was a walking stat stuffer that averaged as close to a triple double as anyone will in college. That year, Ohio St. was a bit of a let down as a 2 seed. They reached the sweet sixteen before they got stunned by a Wayne Chism lead Tennessee Volunteers squad.
J.J. Redick (Duke) – First Team
J.J. Redick might be the greatest college basketball player of all-time. He is the career-leading scorer at Duke with 2,769 total points. He played all four years there while winning conference POY and 1st Team All American his junior and senior season.
His senior year was the icing on the cake. He won AP POY while averaging 26.8 ppg in the regular season, then leading his team to a conference championship.
His college career will mostly be remembered for being a Duke villan. He was hated by opposing fans and opponents but there was nothing anyone could do to stop him.
