...League Rookie of the Year, was recently awarded Ivy League Player of the Week honors for his averages of 22.5 points and seven boards in Cornell’s two weekend victories. He sits at third in the Ancient Eight in scoring at 15.7 points per contest and is knocking down the three-ball at an astounding 50.8 percent clip. He leads the league in three-pointers made per game at 3.21. While Wittman represents a formidable deep threat for the Big Red, Cornell also boasts the Ivy League leader in assists—five per contest?...

In just his third year in the NBA, Paul is averaging a career-high 20.5 points and 10.8 assists per game, while hitting a career best 48% of his shots from the field. "I used to think, 'I have to make this, I have to make this,'" he says. "I'm a lot more relaxed. I know where my shots are going to come from in the game...
