The Deadliest Point Guards You Never Heard Of

Juwan Staten- West Virginia

West Virginia has found a hidden gem in their point guard, Juwan Staten. Staten is currently averaging 16.6 points per game, 6.5 assists per game, and 6.2 rebounds per game. The 6'1" stud had no minutes last year behind Jabarie Hinds, who transferred to UMass, so Staten is making use of the minutes he gets. His three point shot could use improvement, but other than that, Staten could land a triple-double at some point this season.

Anthony "Cat" Barber- NC State
"Cat" and his signature cornrows are giving NC State fans a taste of the bright future in Raleigh. The freshman is one of the bright spots for the Wolfpack this season. Barber is averaging 12 points per game in 28 minutes. The 8-1 NC State team needs a tough competitor, and that is just what Barber brings to the table for them.

Antoine Mason- Niagara
The reason you have never heard of Mason is because Number 14 plays for Niagara. Mason is currently leading the nation in points per game with 28.5 points per game. Mason's scoring prowess reminds some of former Niagara guard Calvin Murphy, who could also fill up the basket. The 60's guard averaged only 5 points more than Mason is right now, and their shooting percentages are almost identical. Mason has the chance to go down as another Niagara legend.

Jarvis Summers- Ole Miss
Yes, there is more to Ole Miss basketball than Marshall Henderson. Ole Miss's second leading scorer is Summers with 16.6 points per game, and Summers is shooting over 50 percent in all of the shooting categories so far. Summers is a floor commander who can hit shots and create for his teammates as well. Ole Miss could be deadly with Summers and Henderson on the floor at the same time.
