Your list is accurate but I believe you have left out the two players who
will be drafted in the top five of the draft.  Those players are ROY TARPLEY
from Michigan and JOHN SALLEY from Georgia Tech.  Even though their stats may
not be too impressive, they are usually double or triple teamed which makes
the other players open for a shot.  This is why Michigan and Georgia Tech
are doing so well.  If Roy was not double teamed or if a team could not play
zone, he would score around 28.0 points a game and about 12.0 rebounds a
game. 

Also, the refs stink in the Big Ten.  They call picky fouls on the big men
inside which gives them less freedom.  Just watch a Big Ten game this week
and you will see what I mean (i.e. the Michigan vs. Indiana game this 
Saturday on national TV).  One ref even admitted on TV, that he gave a 
foul to the wrong person when he went up to the scorers table.  He gave a
foul to number 42, Roy Tarpley instead of number 40, Richard Rellford.
Thats how bad the refs are in this conference.  The Big Ten definitely needs
to review their officiating during the off season and get new officials
to replace the old ones (i.e. get rid of Jim Bains, Ed Hightower, 
London Bradley, Phil Bova etc.).
