Sully's court: The All-Americans

Posted by Joe Sullivan, Globe Staff November 2, 2009 10:50 AM

All-Americans

The top 10 players in the country:

First team:

Cole Aldrich, Kansas: A big-man (6-11) with an actual low-post game.

Robbie Hummel, Purdue: Tremendous all-around player who makes his teammates better.

Da'Sean Butler, West Virginia: A 6-7 glider who does all his damage within the confines of the offense. So you won't see some outrageous crossover dribble or resounding, posterizing dunk but at the end of the night he's got 20 and his team wins.

Evan Turner, Ohio State: Another 6-7 glider who led his team in every important offensive category.

Jerome Randle: Cal: He's listed at 5-10 but some say he's smaller. He's a point guard but he's looking to score without forgetting about his teammates.

Second team

Manny Harris, Michigan: A 6-5 guard who's a natural scorer.

Luke Harangody, Notre Dame: You could argue he's under-sized at 6-8 for the way he plays but no one tries harder and is more resourceful.

Devin Downey, South Carolina: At 5-9, his most effective play his dribbling into the lane where he score over bigger players or find teammates.

Raymar Morgan, Michigan State: He was slowed by illness last season, I'm expecting a big offenisve breakout season for this 6-8 forward.

Scottie Reynolds, Villanova: Not a great shooter, but he's a player that embraces the big moment. He always finds a way to score.
