1. Terrence Ross- If you don’t think Ross is the best player on the Washington Huskies, then you don’t follow Pac-12 basketball nearly enough. Either that, or your related to Tony Wroten. I get that Wroten has more upside and raw talent, but he’s also not as efficient as Ross . In fact, Wroten averages under a point per possession and is the least efficient Husky of all the players on the team who have played in at least 30 games. Ross, meanwhile, is a superior defender who allows just .96 points per possession and doesn’t turn the ball over four times per game. He was worth a little over five wins last season and had a team-high 22.3 PER with some solid rebounding and high efficiency. Wroten is a good player in his own right and talent, but Ross is better at this point.

2. Tony Wroten- He may turn the ball over quite a bit, wastes possessions, and has no outside shot; but he’s a good passer, a quality rebounder, and a talented player who can slash to the hoop at will on his best days. I wanted to place C.J. Wilcox over him, because Wilcox is extremely underrated, more efficient, and slightly better overall. However, I love Wroten’s talent and wanted to avoid any backlash from angry Washington fans.

3. C.J. Wilcox- He has a 40.8 3P% with a 58.1 TS% and averages 1.23 points per possession. He had a higher PER (20.8 to 20.6) than Wroten and was worth .3 more wins and was much better offensively than Wroten. Wilcox is an underrated player and one of my personal favorites. Caution: I might be biased.
