You have confused me with #2, the
HS Naismith POY. For 2013 Wiggins was it but he went to Kansas. They haven't announced it for 2014 yet. It could end up being Karl Towns.

1. John Wall
2. No clue
3. Reggie Hanson
4. Brandon Knight
5. Rex Champman
6. Don't know the regions in Kentucky, but I will guess Darius Miller
7. Purdue
8. Brassow and Burrow (I believe Burrow holds the rebounding mark at 27, I think Old Norm posted that once)
9. Keith Bogans
10. I read that somewhere but can't remember. I will go with Carrot!

I feel good about 6 of my answers.

Fun stuff!!

I'm beginning to wonder if that is suppose to say "former" and not "future". I know that Ron Mercer won the award, but not sure if any other Cat has won. Davis may have, but I think Rivers beat him out.
