Jermaine Ruttley

Usually star players at lower levels will translate into at least decent players at the mid-level range. That ought to be the case with Ruttley. He was by far the leading scorer for FAMU last season at 17.4 ppg, and also their leading rebounder at 6.7, although I suspect that total was helped by the lack of quality big men and the fact that he played 33 minutes per game. He led the team in FT attempts, so he knows how to get to the line.

He shot only 29.5% from the 3-point arc, even though he made 112 attempts. I hope he either learns to shoot better or backs off on his gunning. I do not know how much on-court discipline (good shot selection) our new coach will demand from his players, but it looks like this guy is someone who could shoot you out of a game if you don't sit on him.
