Dr Pepper Classic at a Glance- The Best Players

Utah Valley has two very interesting players to watch. Isiah Williams is averaging 14.5 points per game. But Geddes Robinson is probably the most interesting player. The 6-5, 230 pound senior is averaging 10.9 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. He is a dynamic player, and had 16 points and 17 rebounds against Georgia State back on December 17. He should be fun to watch in this mid-major tournament.

Longwood also relies on two top players. Jeremiah Bowman averages 13.3 points per game and 5.6 assists per game. Antwan Carter may be the best player in the whole tournament. He is averaging 17.1 points per game, to go along with 9.0 rebounds per game. Not only that, but he has made 10 of 23 threes on the season. The 6-6 senior center will be a tough match-up for anyone in this tournament to handle.

Hampton will count on Darrion Pellum to score 17.6 points per game, shooting just 38.5% from the floor. David Bruce averaged 11.9 points per game and 8.9 rebounds per game. He shot 53% from the floor so far this year. Bruce is a big time player for the Pirates. The 6-10 freshman needs to step up.  Jasper Williams is also returning to McKenzie Arena- which should be very entertaining for Mocs fans.

Bruce, Carter, and Robinson will make this a tremendously interesting tournament down low, in my opinion. People should really enjoy watching those guys go at it. Should be a great Dr Pepper Classic.
