1. Ray McCallum Jr., Detroit-Mercy – The Titans often fly under the radar, but McCallum should not. A truly gifted player.
2. Trey Burke, Michigan – As smooth as silk, Burke could be a first-team All-American.
3. Keith Appling, Michigan State – Watch. By the end of this season, he will emerge as the Spartans’ latest clutch player.
