6. Rodney Purvis, G, UConn (From NC State)
Since Purvis performed so well on UConn's scout team while sitting out last season, Huskies coach Kevin Ollie began referring to the 6-foot-3 former McDonald's All-American as "a Ferrari sitting in the garage that I can't drive." Expect Ollie to get plenty of mileage out of Purvis this season as UConn tries to defend its national championship. Though Purvis started 23 games at NC State as a freshman and averaged 8.3 points per game, he felt he could have accomplished so much more in an offense that offered him more opportunities to create off the dribble. He and fellow guards Ryan Boatright and Daniel Hamilton should have plenty of chances at UConn as the Huskies try to replace All-American Shabazz Napier.
