Best Trios
FOR A COMPLETE PREVIEW OF THE 2005-2006 SEASON, CLICK HERE
In addition to a solid inside-outside combo, which many teams have, the thing that sets apart the elite from the also-rans is that third option. Opponents can set up a game plan to shut down the top two players, but it is nearly impossible to contain a solid troika. When teams that have three outstanding players are hitting on all cylinders, they usually don't lose. Here are the top trios heading into the season:
1. Marcus Williams/Rudy Gay/Josh Boone, Connecticut
2. Daniel Gibson/P.J. Tucker/LaMarcus Aldridge, Texas
3. Randy Foye/Allan Ray/Curtis Sumpter, Villanova
4. Chris Hernandez/Dan Grunfeld/Matt Haryasz, Stanford
5. Shannon Brown/Maurice Ager/Paul Davis, Michigan State
6. Terrell Everett/Taj Gray/Kevin Bookout, Oklahoma
7. Jeff Horner/Adam Haluska/Greg Brunner, Iowa
8. Ronald Steele/Chuck Davis/Jermareo Davidson, Alabama
9. Derek Raivio/Adam Morrison/J.P. Batista, Gonzaga
10. Taquan Dean/Juan Palacios/David Padgett, Louisville
11. Mychal Green/Sonny Troutman/Leon Williams, Ohio
12. J.R. Pinnock/Mike Hall/Pops Mensah-Bonsu, George Washington
13. Zabian Dowdell/Jamar Gordon/Coleman Collins, Virginia Tech

Any chance you'll be editing this list by midseason? I have a sneaking suspicion that Duke will eventually find a third scoring option.
Once the NCAA Tournament rolls around, it will definitely be changed...I also will probably do something with it before conference play starts
