Mike DeCourcy at the Sporting News previews his top 10 college shooting guards. The list is topped by
1. Willie Warren, Oklahoma. When superstar forward Blake Griffin was hurt, Warren responded by averaging 25.0 points over two games. Griffin is gone now, so don't be surprised if Division I's most dynamic scorer puts up a full season of those numbers.
Warren says: "I'm not a true point guard, but I think I'll be a player who can play the point guard position. I'll be able to find players open when people come to try to trap me. Scoring … that's what gets their attention the best, what I do the best."
6. Avery Bradley, Texas. He could excel at either backcourt spot.
9. Tyshawn Taylor, Kansas. He led USA Basketball's U-19 team in scoring even though he filled a complementary role.

Goofy list- Vasquez, Reynolds and Talor are PGs. Lace Dunn, Manny Harris and Cory Higgins should have been on that list instead. Avery Bradley is going to be a good player and may be 2nd best pro prospect on that list. But he will not be a top 10 SG in college. Last 3 national champions- UNC, Kansas, Florida- had zero freshmen starting for them. Experience matters and if you are putting together a college list, you should not put guys in there just based on pro potential.
Avery Bradley
Are we past the stage where true freshman cannot be on preseason lists? This is the second list this site linked to that lists him as a top 10. I think the other was a top 10 defender.
he hasn’t played a game yet…. does that matter?
