A stat sheet stuffer is typically a player who does many things well on a nightly basis. For example, Former Missouri guard Phil Pressey had a game last year where he had 19 points and 19 assists. That is a stat sheet stuffer game, but when someone plays strong for the whole year, they are considered a stat stuffer.
Chaz Williams, UMass PG, 15.5 ppg, 7.3 apg (3rd in nation), 2 spg
Williams basically does it all for the Minutemen. He was the top scorer on the team, as well as the assists leader and steals leader. He is only 5'9", which make his stats more incredible. If he could up his 3-point shooting (33.3% last year), Williams has a great shot at the Bob Cousy Award, given to the nations top point guard.
DeAndre Kane, Marshall PG, 15.1 ppg, 7 apg (11th in the nation)
Kane is a tremendous player on the talented Marshall squad. His stats are almost the same as Chaz Williams', but Kane has a better chance to make to make it to the NCAA Tournament. Marshall has been mediocre for years, but that should change soon with Kane leading the Thundering Herd.
Doug McDermott, Creighton F, 23.2 ppg (2nd in nation), 7.7 rpg
McDermott is an flat out scorer. He finished second in the nation behind Virginia Tech's Erick Green, who was drafted in the second round. He has the potential to lead the nation in both in scoring and 3-point percentage ( 49% last year, 3rd in nation). He is also not a shabby rebounder, finishing the season with 7.7 rpg.
D.J. Covington, VMI F/C, 15 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 3 bpg (8th in nation)
Admit it, you probably have never heard of D.J. Covington, but he is a very productive center. He boasts a 56% field goal percentage. He is one of the top shot blockers in the nation, and holds down the VMI defense that finished around the top 50 in the nation. VMI finished top 10 in the nation in points per game, so if Covington continues to dominate the paint, VMI could possibly make the tournament.
