Kemba Walker, UConn, 2010–11[/B][/B][/SIZE] [B]Stats[/B]: 23.5 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 4.5 APG, 1.9 SPG The final third of Walker’s junior year at UConn has become the stuff of legend. The Huskies struggled to a 9–9 conference mark, tied for ninth in a deep Big East, relying heavily on a handful of underclassmen to support their star. With a series of fearless performances, the shifty junior guard carried his team to eleven straight wins, the Big East tournament title, and [URL='https://www.si.com/vault/2011/04/11/106055652/uconns-drive-to-survive']an NCAA championship[/URL]. Draining a slew of memorable, clutch shots in the process (including a buzzer-beating winner against Pitt), Walker was named most outstanding player in both tournaments, played more total minutes than any Division I player this decade, led the NCAA in win shares, and averaged 23.5 points (fifth in the country), 5.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists on the year. His 130 points in five Big East tournament wins in a five-day span was the most by any player in any conference tournament in 15 years. On whole, Walker’s season wasn’t historically prolific, but he carried the heaviest load through a grueling stretch, was at his best when it mattered most, and came out as a champion, a folk hero of sorts, and a lasting part of the college hoops lexicon.
